Nuclear Chemistry is one of the Discipline specific courses in Semester 5. This course is one of the key topic in physical chemistry. In this topic you will get an overview of what is radioactivity, how to detect radiations using different types of detectors.
You will also develop your skills of critical thinking while solving numerical problems on Half life and rate of disintegration of the various radioactive elements. You will be able to determine Half life of different radioactive elements. Further The radioisotopes have immense applications in the field of research, medicine ,agriculture etc. Finally we will look into the tremendous amount of energy released during Nuclear Fission process and study the basic principle and working of Nuclear reactors and factors to control the nuclear fission process . I hope you will thoroughly enjoy this curse.
