TOPIC 23 · A LEVEL

Nuclear physics

Connect nuclear mass to binding and reaction energy, then use probability and exponentials to model radioactive decay.

TOPIC 23

Nuclear physics

Connect nuclear mass and binding energy to stability, reactions and exponential radioactive decay. Visuals keep mass defect, energy release, activity and half-life physically connected.
