“10th Class Physics Chapter 18 Quiz: Atomic and Nuclear Physics” explores the intricate structure of atoms and the powerful phenomena occurring within their nuclei. This chapter is critical for MDCAT students as it gives them a basic understanding of atomic models, nuclear energy, and their applications in medicine and energy production. Our MDCAT Quiz for this chapter is designed to test and enhance your understanding of these concepts.
The chapter starts with the discussion of the atomic structure, focusing on the composition of atoms: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Students will study Rutherford’s model of the atom and how it evolved into Bohr’s model, which explains electron energy levels and emission spectra. The chapter then introduces the concept of radioactivity, describing the emission of alpha, beta, and gamma rays and the decay law governing radioactive materials. Much emphasis is given to nuclear reactions, including fission and fusion, in relation to their role in energy production and weaponry. Real-life applications of nuclear physics, such as in nuclear reactors and radiotherapy, are also discussed.
