The Nuclear Atom: Atomic Structure, Isotopes, Fission & Fusion Explained
This PowerPoint explores atomic structure, covering protons, neutrons, and electrons within the nucleus and electron shells. It explains atomic and mass numbers, nuclide notation, and isotopes, highlighting their stability and radioactivity. The presentation discusses Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, which confirmed the nuclear model of the atom. It also introduces nuclear reactions, including fission, where heavy nuclei split, triggering a chain reaction, and fusion, where light nuclei merge to release vast energy, as seen in stars.
