Answer:
Section 16.3 Nuclear Energy
Goals
To describe nuclear fission (the splitting of larger atoms into smaller atoms) and nuclear
fusion (the combination of smaller atoms into larger atoms) and to explain why energy is
released by each.
To describe briefly how nuclear power plants work.
To show how the sun gets its energy.
The potential energy stored in the nuclei of atoms can be converted into other forms of energy
in the fission reactions in nuclear power plants and in the fusion reactions in the sun. This
section tells you why this energy conversion takes place.
Nuclear power is a major source of energy for electrical generation worldwide.
Nuclear power plants are found in over 30 countries and generate a significant percentage of
the world’s electricity. This section will help you to understand how these plants work.
Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus ... Alpha particles have a charge +2 e,

Nuclear reactions need to have the sum of protons and neutrons the same on both sides of the equation. The number of protons must also be consistent on both sides of the reaction. Alpha decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom spontaneously ejects an alpha particle
