 * Nuclear chemistry is the most powerful and misunderstood topic in chemistry. Mention of the word nuclear puts most people in fear and their first and sometimes only picture is that of a nuclear explosion. What comes first to your mind when the term nuclear chemistry is mentioned? Are the bomb, nuclear power and radiation sickness the only things nuclear chemistry has to offer? This project will allow you to find the answers to these questions and learn there is much more to nuclear chemistry! **


 * Getting Started: **


 * Individually or your group is responsible for one topic chosen in class on Wednesday, November 6, 2013. The list of topics & topic questions will be posted on my webpage.
 * We will be visiting the computer lab on the following dates: 11/15, 11/19, and 11/20.
 * You must provide answers to the topic questions, pictures, diagrams and links to other outside sources of information on your wiki page.
 * You must provide citations for at least three sources you used in creating your wiki page on the bottom of your page.
 * You must be finished editing/uploading information to your page by Wednesday, November 20, 2013 by 11:59 pm.
