Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are characteristics of α-particles? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

They are helium nuclei, They have high ionizing power, They consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons

α-particles are helium nuclei (⁴₂He) with 2 protons and 2 neutrons, making them positively charged. They have high ionizing power but low penetrating power, being stopped by thin aluminum sheets.

2true false

The half-life of a radioactive substance is directly proportional to its decay constant.

Show answer

False

Half-life is inversely proportional to decay constant: T₁/₂ = 0.693/λ. As decay constant increases, half-life decreases.

3multiple correct

In the nuclear reaction ¹⁴₇N + ⁴₂He → ¹⁷₈O + ¹₁H, what is conserved?

Show answer

Mass number, Atomic number, Charge, Energy

In nuclear reactions: Mass number (14+4=17+1=18), Atomic number (7+2=8+1=9), and Charge are conserved. Energy is also conserved. Number of neutrons may change.

4multiple choice

Nuclear fission of ²³⁵U typically releases how much energy per fission?

Show answer

200 MeV

Nuclear fission of ²³⁵U releases approximately 200 MeV per fission event. This enormous energy comes from the mass defect when uranium splits into lighter fragments.
