Conclusion

While most of our chemistry course revolves around the electron interactions between atoms, you can see that the nucleus has its own unique applications in the course.

Some atoms are simply unstable because of the nuclear structure of that atom. These atoms are radioactive.

Radioactivity is both useful and dangerous at the same time. In your research of radioisotopes, you have found that there are many uses of radioisotopes in both medicine and other sciences.

Text Box: “I do not consider myself the father of the release of atomic energy. My part in it was quite indirect. I did not, in fact, foresee that it would be released in my time. I believed only that it was theoretically possible…It was discovered by Hahn in Berlin, and he himself misinterpreted what he discovered. It was Lise Meitner who provided the correct interpretation.” -Albert Einstein
