Possibly "barns" (as in "couldn't hit the broad side of a"), a measure of the nuclear cross-section (a smaller unit for the same thing is "sheds").

Are nukes radioactive?

Yes, nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors produce radiation as a byproduct of nuclear reactions. This radiation can be in the form of gamma rays, alpha particles, or beta particles. Therefore, exposure to nuclear weapons or the fallout from a nuclear explosion can result in harmful levels of radiation.


What subatomic particles are you using in nuclear chemistry?

In nuclear chemistry, we primarily deal with protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. These particles play important roles in nuclear reactions and processes.


What forces hold particles together?

Particles are held together by several forces, including the electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. The electromagnetic force is responsible for holding atoms together through interactions between charged particles. The weak nuclear force is involved in nuclear decay processes, such as beta decay. The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei.


What are force carrier particles?

Force carrier particles are elementary particles that are responsible for mediating the forces between other particles in the Standard Model of particle physics. Examples include photons for electromagnetic force, gluons for strong nuclear force, and W and Z bosons for weak nuclear force. These particles are exchanged between interacting particles to transmit the forces between them.


What are 3 main types of nuclear radiation?

The three main types of nuclear radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons, beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.

What are the subatomic articles that can change in a nuclear reaction?

The subatomic particles that can change in a nuclear reaction are protons, neutrons, and electrons. During nuclear reactions, these particles can be gained or lost, leading to the formation of different elements and isotopes.
