Unit Test Reflection

Today in class, we took the Atomic Structure and Radioactivity unit test. Luckily, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, and I think that is partially thanks to the blog posts I have made this unit. I actually used them as a resource while studying, and they were very helpful. However, there were still a couple things that I was confused about on the test:

-How to calculate the percent abundance of one isotope atom when you are given the individual masses and the amu of the element

-Which type of radioactive decay can penetrate the human body the furthest

To help me learn about the above questions for future exams, I researched each of them. Hgere is a link I found giving the answer to my second question:


Overall, I knew most of the material on the test, thanks to these blog posts, and I will be sure to keep it up, in order to continue doing well on the tests.

    Thank you for posting that link about the penetration strength of radioactive particle emissions. It is now much easier to understand the different strengths of the emissions but also why they have that strength
