https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa We finished out unit on Acids and Bases and began our new unit on Radiation and Radioactivity this week. So far we have covered Radioactive Decay and Half-Life. Create a post that is 5 sentences briefly explaining what these concepts are and tell me how you feel about them! en-us 2020-10-16 11:57:44 UTC 2025-11-01 04:58:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f52c.png ca042804 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/856172183 2020-10-23 15:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/856172183 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/856260214 Radioactive decay is the different ways that radioactive elements break down. Radioactive elements have a weak nucleus because the ratio odf protons and neutrans do not equal out/ balance. Half-life is the rate that an atom breacks down. Half life I feel like is just a little harder than radioactive. I feel alright about the both of them but i reall dont feel like i completly understand them.]]> 2020-10-23 15:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/856260214 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/856394810 radioactive dicay is the decay of which something is being broken down in to a smaller atom to which it makes it harder to controll it

Radioactive elements are made up of atoms whose nuclei are unstable and give off atomic radiation as part of a process of attaining stability. Half life is the time it takes for an atom to "live half its life." I feel more confident with Radioactive than I do with Half-Life.]]> 2020-10-23 16:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/856489552 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/857352317 radioactive decay is the different ways that radioactive elements break down the reason the radioactive elements have weak nucleus is because the protons and neutrons do not balance and have different amounts. Half life is the amount of time it takes for half of a given amount of radioisotopes to decay.  based on how much radioactive nuclei the artifact contains.  I don't really understand the way your supposed to calculate the problems for half life and is harder than the radioactive

They have a weak nucleus because the ratio between protons and neutrons are not equal and don't balance. Half life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, it also describes how quickly unstable atoms and how long stable atoms survive radioactive decay. I feel very comfortable with both of the topics we learned about for this unit, there is some stuff that i can confuse other things for but overall i'm very clear in mind about understanding these two topics this unit.]]> 2020-10-23 21:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/857374568 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/859879464 2020-10-25 21:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/859879464 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/859879635 Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation.Its also a material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive.I feel like its pretty interesting and a enjoyable unit ]]> 2020-10-25 21:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/859879635 https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/919255004 Radioactive decay is the way radioactive elements decay/brake down. Radioactive elements are unstable elements therefore they tend to brake down easier. Radiation is the particles put off by a radioactive element. There are three types of radiation/decay and those are alpha ,beta and gamma. I feel good about these concepts. ]]> 2020-11-13 04:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/garrl/u54l034lsxc0csqa/wish/919255004
