Nuclear Chemistry

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Nuclear chemistry deals with reactions and processes in atomic nuclei, including radioactive decay, fission, and fusion. It underpins nuclear power generation, medical imaging (e.g., PET scans), and radiation therapy. Important concepts include half-life, binding energy, and transmutation. Studying nuclear chemistry requires an understanding of nuclear stability, decay modes, and the balance between risks and benefits of radioactive materials.
