    IB Physics Atomic & Nuclear Physics Tutor

    IB Physics Atomic and Nuclear Physics is a topic rich with fascinating real-world connections — from medical imaging to nuclear power. Our tutors ensure you understand both the conceptual foundations (the Bohr model, quantum numbers) and the mathematical tools (decay equations, binding energy calculations).

    Board: IB (International Baccalaureate)

    Topics Covered

    • The nuclear atom and atomic models
    • Radioactive decay types (alpha, beta, gamma)
    • Nuclear equations and conservation laws
    • Half-life and decay constants
    • Mass defect and binding energy
    • Nuclear fission and chain reactions
    • Nuclear fusion and the sun
    • Fundamental particles (HL)

    Exam Tips

    • Tip 1:Always balance atomic number AND mass number in nuclear equations
    • Tip 2:Half-life: N = N₀e^(-λt) — know this formula cold
    • Tip 3:Binding energy per nucleon graph: iron-56 is the most stable
    • Tip 4:Distinguish between fission (heavy nuclei split) and fusion (light nuclei combine)
