1. Nuclear Reactions Emissions, Balancing, and predicting decays of Nuclear Reactions

2. Nuclear Chemistry Many nuclei undergo spontaneous changes. These changes are usually accompanied by the emission of a particle from the nucleus. The process is called Radioactive Decay. Consider K Nuclear symbol 19 40 K Atomic Number Mass Number Mass Number = # protons + # neutrons Atomic Number = # protons

3. Nuclear Chemistry Many nuclei undergo spontaneous changes. These changes are usually accompanied by the emission of a particle from the nucleus. The process is called Radioactive Decay. Consider K Nuclear symbol 19 40 Undergoes Radioactive Decay Ca 20 40 + 0 e Balanced Nuclear Equation Superscripts and subscripts are equal on both sides of the equation
