False

Non-zero rest mass particles include: electrons,protons and neutrons

True

False

Electron annihilation is when two negative electrons collide and produce two photons.

True

False

Photons are particles of electromagnetic radiation

True

False

The nucleus is responsible for the chemical behavior of the atom

True

False

Nuclei with the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons are called isobars

True

False

The mass of any atom in amu is numerically equal to the atomic weight of the atom in question

True

False

As the velocity of a particle increases,its mass decreases

True

False

The process of removing an electron from the atom is called ionization

True

False

The excited state,is the lowest energy which an atom is normally found.

True

False

The energies of the excited states and the energies between states are greater for nuclei than for atoms

True

False

The internal conversion is an alternative mechanism to gamma rays emmision

True

False

After the internal conversion process, only auger electrons could be emitted.

True

False

The excess neutrons in a nucleus act like a nuclear glue

True

False

A process that a nuclei undergo in order to return to the ground state , this is called radioactive decay

True

False

In beta-decay electrons appear with a discrete energy spectrum

True

False

Alpha decay is mostly common for light nuclei

True

False

The decay of certain excited states is delayed to a point where the nuclei appears to be semi-stable ,this is called

Radioactive decay

Internal conversion

The average half life time for all nuclei in a sample is called the mean life

True

False

In secular equilibrium the parent decay constant is much shorter than the decay constant of the daughter

True

False
