 LEARNING OUTLINE
Candidates should be able to :
Infer from the results of the α-particle scattering
experiment the existence and small size of the nucleus
Describe a simple model for the nuclear atom to include
protons, neutrons and orbital electrons
distinguish between nucleon number and proton number
understand that isotopes are forms of the same element
with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei
understand and use the notation for the representation
of nuclides
understand that nucleon number and charge are
conserved in nuclear processes
TEACH A COURSE
describe the composition, mass and charge of α-, β- and γ-
radiations (both (electrons) and (positrons) are included)
understand that an antiparticle has the same mass but
opposite charge to the corresponding particle, and that a
positron is the antiparticle of an electron
state that (electron) antineutrinos are produced during decay
and (electron) neutrinos are produced during decay
understand that α-particles have discrete energies but that β-
particles have a continuous range of energies because
(anti)neutrinos are emitted in β-decay
represent α- and β-decay by a radioactive decay equation of
the form
use the unified atomic mass unit (u) as a unit of mass

ATOMS
We will cover these skills:
 Structure of nucleus
 Isotop
 Radiation

- Atom can turn into entirely

different element
- There is energy that can be
unleashed in every atom
