Electroplating
Electrolytic cells can be used to form a thin coating of metal on an object
Voltaic Cells
types of batteries used to power flashlights, watches, and portable electronic devices
Salt bridge
tube filled with a nonreactive electrolyte takes the place of the porous divider in equalizing the charges.
Rechargeable cell
Electricity is used to recharge it
Fuel cell
needs hydrogen and oxygen
Radioactivity
energy release from certain elements and isotopes
Nuclear chemistry
study of reactions involving the nucleus
Stable
stays the same
Unstable
have a tendency to spontaneously shed subatomic particles or otherwise break apart
Nuclear radiation
Anything that radiates from the Nucleus
Radioactive
tend to undergo nuclear decay and thereby emit nuclear radiation
Nuclide
a specific type of atom described by both its atomic number and mass number
Strong nuclear force
The force that binds the nucleus together
Radioactive decay
conversion of one nuclide into another in a spontaneous nuclear reaction
Nuclear mass defect
the mass of every atom is measurably less than the total mass of its individual particles
Law of conservation of matter and energy
matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Nuclear binding energy
energy equivalent of the mass defect
Electron volt
kinetic energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through 1 V of electrical potential.
