Atomic Structure flashcards
Every deck we have for Atomic Structure, part of AQA GCSE Physics. 100 questions written against the published specification, free to study with no account. Each deck schedules its own reviews, so cards you find hard come back sooner than ones you have already got right.
Atoms, Isotopes and the Nuclear Model
24 cardsThe size and structure of the atom, mass number and atomic number, isotopes, and how the alpha scattering experiment overturned the plum pudding model.
Radioactive Decay and Nuclear Equations
26 cardsAlpha, beta, gamma and neutron emission, their penetrating and ionising power, and balancing nuclear equations for each type of decay.
Half-life, Contamination and Irradiation
24 cardsActivity and count rate, calculating with half-life including net decline, and the crucial difference between being irradiated and being contaminated.
Uses, Hazards, Fission and Fusion
26 cardsBackground radiation and its sources, medical uses of radiation, and how nuclear fission and fusion release energy. Physics only content.
