This
note explains the following topics: Classical Two-Body Kinematics, Special
Relativity, Particle-like Nature of Waves, Wave-like properties of Particles,
The Shrodinger equation, The Rutherford-Bohr model of the Atom, The Hydrogen

Nuclear and Radiochemistry is specialised branch of
chemistry that helps to shape the orientation of chemist and analyst to be able
to qualitatively and quantitatively analyse radiation from radioactive
samples.The study units in this course are as follow : Natural Radioactivity,
Radioactive Decay Processes and Nature of Radioactivity, Nuclear Models,
Energetic of Nuclear Radiation, Principle and Measurement of Radioactivity,
Application of Radioactivity, Radiation Hazards.
Author(s): National Open University of Nigeria, School of

This
note is intended to provide a broad understanding of how different types of
radiation deposit energy, including the creation and behavior of secondary
radiations; of how radiation affects cells and why the different types of
radiation have very different biological effects. Also explains the effects of
radiation on biological systems including DNA damage, in vitro cell survival
models and in vivo mammalian systems.
This note explains correctly the major
ideas associated with Nuclear Chemistry listed below, to work numerical problems
involving these concepts and to extend the use of these concepts to unknown
situations.
This book explains the basic
principles of nuclear chemistry at the level of undergraduate college students
who has some familiarity with scientific concepts and terminology.
The Living Textbook of Nuclear
Chemistry is an attempt to gather on a single website a number of supplemental
materials related to the study and practice of nuclear chemistry.
