Gizmos Student Exploration: Nuclear Reactions Answers Key 2023

Gizmos Student Exploration: Nuclear Reactions Answers Key 2023. What do you notice about the isotope number and the sum of protons and neutrons? They all vary in numbers 2. The element symbol for uranium-238 is . This means U-238 has a total mass of 238 and contains 92 protons. Write the element symbols for the isotopes in the table: Hydrogen-1 1/1 H Carbon-12 12/6 C Uranium-235 235/92 U Gizmo Warm-up The Nuclear Reactions Gizmo simulates a particle accelerator. Particle accelerators speed up atoms to very high velocities, then crash the atoms together with enough energy to cause changes called nuclear reactions. There are three particle beams available in this Gizmo, protons, neutrons, and helium-3 nuclei. 1. Click Fire Proton to engage the first particle beam. What happens? A positron flew out 2. Colliding particles don’t always react. Click Reset, and then click Fire neutron. A. Does a reaction occur? no B. Explain: the fire neutron flew through Isotope Protons Neutrons Hydrogen-1 1 0
