PPT-5.2 Nuclear Reactions

In the nuclear equation for alpha decay the mass number of the new nucleus decreases by 4 and its atomic number decreases by 2 Learning Goal Write a balanced nuclear equation showing mass numbers and atomic numbers for radioactive decay. NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTIONS When a heavy atom fissions, it releases neutrons which can be absorbed by other heavy atoms to induce further fissions. If each neutron releases two more neutrons from a f Dubna. , Russia. Avazbek NASIROV. Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Contents of talk.
