Nuclear Chemistry:
Nuclear forces- atomic mass unit- packingfraction – mass defect and binding energy of the nucleus. Stability of nuclei. Nuclear models- the liquid drop model. Nuclear reactions- nuclear fission- fission of uranium- nuclear reactors- types- importance of thorium in India's nuclear energy production. Nuclear fusion. Radio activity- natural radio activity- rate of radio activity disintegration – half life period- transmutation of elements- group displacement law- radio active decay series.Isotopes-separation of isotopes - applications of isotopes in analytical chemistry, medicine, and in reaction mechanism - Carbon dating - Neutron activation analysis.
