Nuclear Chemistry
In the
fourth nine weeks, in the Nuclear Chemistry unit,
students will become familiar with the concept of
radioactivity, fission, fusion, and other nuclear
reactions.
Critical Questions:
- What are the differences between chemical and
nuclear reactions?
- What are the significances of nuclear fission and
fusion?
- What are the applications and problems associated
with nuclear chemistry?
Suggested Time Frame: 1 Week (or as time permits)
