核化学：Understand the processes happening in the atomic nucleus

Radioactivity is something that only happens in nuclear power plants, right?

在此模拟中，您将了解到放射性比您想象的要普遍得多，实际上，您被它包围了！您还将了解哪些类型的原子是放射性的，为什么以及α，β和伽马衰减如何产生不同类型的放射性。

Understand the processes happening in the atomic nucleus

Use our holofloor to visualize how protons and neutrons interact in the nucleus. Experiment with stability of isotopes and figure out why some combinations are more stable than others.

Analyze properties of alpha, beta, and gamma decay

Radioactive isotopes can undergo alpha, beta, and gamma decay. Each of these processes generates radioactivity; luckily, we are in a virtual simulation and we can experiment with these isotopes without being exposed to harmful levels of radiation. Additionally, you will be able to see how protons and neutrons interact in the nucleus thanks to our advanced holofloor.

Learn and put it into practice!

首先，您将学习颗粒如何在细胞核中相互作用以及α，β和伽马衰减如何发生。然后，您将这些概念付诸实践。仅借助量表，您将需要找出三种不同同位素正在发生的衰减类型。
