1 Class: Date: Science 10 Radioactivity Review v3 Modified True/False Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. An atom s atomic number can never be greater than its mass number. 2. Different isotopes of a particular element have the same mass number but different atomic numbers. 3. The only type of radioactive decay that will produce daughter nuclei with different mass numbers is alpha decay. 4. Because alpha particles are the biggest, heaviest, and most highly charged of the three common types of radiation emitted during radioactive decay, they are also the most penetrating. 5. The daughter nucleus produced following gamma decay is the same element with the same atomic number and the same mass number as the parent nucleus. 6. Alpha decay will produce a daughter nucleus with more protons and beta decay will produce a daughter nucleus with fewer protons than the parent nucleus has. 7. The half-life of a given radioisotope can be altered by intense heat, pressure, or other physical means. 8. We have determined the dates during which dinosaurs lived on Earth by using radiocarbon dating. 9. The process of nuclear fission is much easier to initiate than nuclear fusion. 10. Nuclear reactors producing electrical energy take advantage of a controlled fusion chain reaction to produce heat and boil water that drives a steam turbine.
