Explore atom stability nuclear reactions!

Steps:

Build an Atom
The problem: You have a nucleus with a fixed number of protons.
What must you add to a nucleus consisting of protons to make a stable ion? How many should be added?
What must you add to a nucleus consisting of protons to make a stable atom? How many should be added?

Develop hypotheses.

Test your hypotheses.

Go to the simulation: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/build-an-atom/latest/build-an-atom_en.html
Click to show Stable/Unstable in the lower left.
Now, we experiment!
Add 3 protons to the nucleus. Repeat for 6 protons.
Which element is this?
Now, add other either neutrons or electrons to stabilize the nucleus.
If you added both, once the ion is stabilized take away either the electrons or the neutrons (but not both) to better determine which led to stability.
Now that you’ve determined which led to stability, add more of that type to see if stability is maintained.
Did electrons or neutrons give stability to the ion?
What is an isotope?
What are the minimum and maximum number of electrons/neutrons that allow for stability? It may be a single number!
Now, determine what is needed to produce a stable atom rather than ion.
Repeat for 6 protons.
Repeat for 10 protons.

Analyze your results: What did you learn about ionic stability? About atomic stability?

Nuclear Fission
Go to: http://www.visionlearning.com/library/animations/VL_Fission_Animation/Nuclear_Fission_r5.html
It’s a <20 second simulation showing the nuclear fusion of U235.
No need to write anything about this. I just think it's helpful

Nuclear Fusion
Go to: http://www.visionlearning.com/img/app/library/objects/Flash/VLObject-2747-040421040452.swf
It's a <90 second simulation showing the a nuclear fusion reactor.
Now, answer these questions:
What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?
How is the Tokamak reactor similar to the sun?

Controlled and Uncontrolled Nuclear Chain Reactions
Go to: http://www.visionlearning.com/img/app/library/objects/Flash/VLObject-3602-100223080241.swf
Watch both the controlled and uncontrolled chain reactions.
Now, answer these questions:
What's the difference between controlled and uncontrolled chain reactions?
What is the purpose of a control rod?
Does the chain reaction increase or decrease if you "lower the control rods"? Why?

find how many days in your data set had a Daily Mean PM2.5 Concentration over 12 µg/m3.

if you cant do it correctly, dont do it at all.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) can be found at the EPA’s website. Link opens in a new window http://www.epa.gov/air/criteria.html. Over the past 50 years the standard annual mean for fine particulate matter PM2.5 has been significantly tightened, starting out at 75 µg/m3 of air in 1971 and now only 12 µg/m3 of air (as of 2012 standards).

For this discussion you will be using your 2013 data from Module 7. Create a new tab in your worksheet and name it “Mod 9”. Note the two conditions for a valid confidence interval are met. Use StatCrunch to find a 90% confidence interval for the column Daily Mean PM2.5 Concentration.

Is the 12 µg/m3 of air standard limit contained in your confidence interval? With standards getting stricter over time, it is possible that even if it the current standard is not contained in the confidence interval a future stricter standard might be. What concerns might you have if this were contained in your confidence interval? What can you interpret from this?

The textbook noted that confidence intervals may be reported in two different ways. Please give your results in both formats. Which format do you find to be more useful or clearer?

Now, utilize Excel’s COUNTIF function to find how many days in your data set had a Daily Mean PM2.5 Concentration over 12 µg/m3. Did your area have any days over the standard annual mean for fine particulate matter, and if so how many? Note that the 12 µg/m3 is an annual mean so that over the course of the year the AVERAGE for any given area should be under that value. As an average, one would expect some days to be higher and some days to be lower concentrations, but the overall average for the year should be below this value to meet the EPA’s standards.

Analyze the importance of having acceptable use policies, remote access policies, and network security control policies. Choose one acceptable use policy, remote access policy, or network security control policy and give three reasons why you believe this policy is an effective way to manage network security.
Assess the risks and threats that may occur if these policies are underdeveloped or unavailable. Recommend three technical appliances that may be used to implement a network security function within your assessment and justify your recommendations.

Question #2

“Developing Personnel Security” Please respond to the following:

Determine three reasons why an organization should define the boundaries of control, identify personnel security functions based on risks, and manage change within the work force. Select what you believe to be the most important reason and explain why.
Propose three activities that could be performed by the Human Resources Department to screen and hire personnel effectively. Choose one activity you proposed and justify how it would support personnel security functions.

Determine which areas of the data life cycle are the most challenging to control and explain why (i.e., creation, access, use, transmission, storage, physical transport, and destruction).

Question #4

Briefly describe the main purpose of Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) policies. Determine how these policies are similar and how are they different.
Suggest a generally well-known example of an incident in the past 10-15 years, such as Hurricane Katrina, that highlights the importance of conducting the appropriate planning and development of these policies (i.e., BIA, BCP, and DRP). Identify the areas in your example that would be affected the most without a policy such as the ones mentioned above.
