Lecture #26, Monday, November 22nd

We started the nuclear chemistry unit as it is a continuation of the alternate energy unit. France uses nuclear power for nearly 80% of their electricity, the highest in the world.

We discussed how Einstein's energy equation can be related to the amount of energy obtained in a nuclear reaction (Section 21.6) then discussed the common radioactive decay associated with nuclear reactions.

Read Sections 21.1 and 21.2 to gain a deeper understanding of the material we covered in lecture.

The Nuclear Chemistry howework will be as follows:
Chapter 21 Pages 925-926:
1-6, 11-16, 19-24, 27-30, and 33-42
