Learning objective
Explain the subject of nuclear and particle physics and its links to other sciences.
Know the main stages of the field's development and its key discoveries.
Learn to work with microworld scales and nuclear-physics units (fm, MeV, u, barn).
Learn to classify nuclides as isotopes, isobars, isotones, isomers and mirror nuclei.
Expected outcomes
Can list the main discoveries of nuclear physics in chronological order.
Can compare the energy and length scales of nuclear, atomic and molecular phenomena.
Can convert mass into energy units (u → MeV) and make estimates using the uncertainty relation.
Can find Z, N, A from a nuclide symbol and group nuclides into classes.
