1. Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear Reaction
- the process in which nucleus either
 combines with another nucleus (through nuclear
fusion) or
Ex.

neutron + Nitrogen  Carbon +


proton
 splits into smaller nuclei (through nuclear fission)

Ex.

Carbon  Nitrogen +
electron
Radioactivity
- when there is spontaneous nuclear reaction, it
involves emission of energetic particles of atom

Ex.

Carbon  Nitrogen + high-speed


electron
(beta particle)
