Chapter 26
Nuclei and Radioactivity
A smoke detector, a hospital scanner and the Sun all work because of what happens inside the nucleus. The nucleus is a hundred thousand times narrower than the atom, yet it holds almost all of its mass and a million times more energy per particle than a chemical bond. This chapter follows the size and binding energy of the nucleus, radioactive decay, and fission and fusion. It covers the Nuclei unit of the Indian syllabus (NCERT, NEET, JEE Main) and the matching topics of A-Level, IB and AP Physics.
