In this writing nuclear reactions worksheet, students read about nuclear equations for alpha decay, beta decay and positron emission. They are given the rules for writing nuclear reactions and a sample problem.

In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students answer 9 questions. They balance nuclear equations, they write balanced equations, they calculate decay and they find binding energy of atoms.

Watch alpha particles escape from a polonium nucleus, causing radioactive alpha decay. See how random decay times relate to the half life. Java required.
