Radioactivity, Nuclear Equations, Mass Energy Equivalence

Radioactivity discovered by Becquerel, M and P. Curie; developed also by Rutherford and Soddy
Nuclear equations must balance in mass and nuclear charges
Nuclear reactions involve transmutation of elements – changing one element into another
Radioactivity can be used to make new elements, like Pu
Loss of mass in nuclear changes leads to production of lots of energy
Einstein’s equation: E = mc²
Binding energy per nucleon shows stability of nuclei
Curve of binding energy; maximum at Fe
Both fusion of light elements and fission of heavy elements lead to energy output
