Sample Questions

1multiple choice

What is the half-life of a radioactive element?

Show answer

Time for half the nuclei to decay

Half-life (t₁/₂) is the time required for exactly half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to undergo decay.

2multiple choice

Which of the following factors affect the rate of radioactive decay? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Number of radioactive nuclei present

Radioactive decay rate depends only on the number of radioactive nuclei present. It is independent of external conditions like temperature, pressure, or catalysts.

3multiple choice

In beta minus (β⁻) decay, what happens to the atomic number?

Show answer

Increases by 1

In β⁻ decay, a neutron converts to a proton and electron. The electron is emitted, increasing the atomic number by 1 while mass number remains same.

4multiple choice

What is nuclear binding energy?

Show answer

Energy needed to break nucleus into nucleons

Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to completely separate all nucleons (protons and neutrons) in a nucleus.
