Chapter 22: Nuclear Chemistry

Overview

Chapter 22 has enrichment material that will challenge students to think on a different level of chemistry. Nuclear chemistry is different from other branches of chemistry because of the transformation of one element into another. This area of chemistry overlaps significantly with nuclear physics. Radon detection, radiation therapy, x-rays, nuclear power plants, and nuclear waste disposal are just a few examples of how nuclear chemistry affects modern life.
