English Reading, 中・高生向け補助教材、The basic words of nuclear physics

Answer the following questions in English using any resource including the material provided in class if necessary. Write the answer in the space below the question or fill in the brackets.

1.    What are the two main materials (matters) that make up the nucleus of an atom?


2.    What circles around the nucleus of an atom?


3.    What corresponds to the atomic number?


4.    What is the weight of an atom?


5.    What are atoms which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, in other words, weigh differently?


6.    Heavy elements such as uranium are unstable and naturally crumble down to lighter, stable one, (            ), atomic number 82. As they transform, they emit radioactive rays and particles.


7.    What is the name of the radioactive ray that an atom emits when its nucleus breaks down?


8.    What is the time it takes half a container of some element to turn into something different and lose its property?


9.    What is the name of the machine that is used to meddle with the nucleus of an atom by smashing matters at a tremendous speed?


10.  (            ) atoms, which are artificial radio-isotopes, are used to track the whereabouts of elements in a phenomenon that cannot be directly observed like the starch production in a plant. In this case, the process is observed by using CO2 which contains radioactive carbon isotopes.
