Nuclear Chemistry

10d1) Differentitiate between alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Alpha Radiation is radiation that is  made up of alpha particles; is deflected toward a negatively charged plate when radiation from a radioactive source is directed between two electrically sharged plates
Beta Radiation is radiation that is made up of beta particles; is deflected toward a positively charged plate when radiation from a radioactive source is directed between two electrically charged plates.

Gamma Radiation is radiation that has no electrial charge and no mass, is not deflected by electric or magnetic fields, usually accompines alpha and beta radiation, and accounts for most of the energy lost during radioactive decay.

10d2) Differentiate between fission and fusion.
Nuclear fission is the process of splitting atoms
Nuclear fusion is the process of  forcing atoms together.

10d5) Describe nuclear energy and its practical applictaion as an alternative energy source and its potential problems.
Nuclear energy is the energy from nuclear fission or fusion. It can be used to power household appliances. Its wates are harmful to the environment and humans also it  takes long time to decay or be harmless.
