Nuclear Chemistry
2
The Atom The atom consists of two parts: 1. The nucleus which contains: 2. Orbiting electrons. protons neutrons
3
X A Z Mass number Atomic number Element symbol = number of protons + number of neutrons = number of protons
4
U 235 92 U 238 92 There are many types of uranium: Mass # Atomic # Number of protons Number of neutrons Mass # Atomic # Number of protons Number of neutrons 235 92 143 146 92 238
5
Same number of protons but different number of neutrons is an….. ISOTOPE
6
Most naturally occurring isotopes are stable.
7
Atoms want to be stable
8
Determined by ratio of p + to n 0 Nucleus Stability
9
Radioactive Decay (radioactivity) Unstable nuclei decomposes into stable nuclei Half- Life is the time it takes for this decay to occur.

11
Half Life: Time for half of the radioactive nuclide to decay 1.How much of a 100. g sample of 198 Au is left over 8.10 days if its half-life is 2.70 days?
12
2. A 50.0 g sample of 16 N decays to 12.5 g in 14.4 seconds. What is the half-life?
13
3. The half life of 42 K is 12.4 hours. How much of a 750g sample is left over after 62.0 hours?
14
4. What is the half-life of 99 Tc if a 500 g sample decays to 62.5g in 639, 000 years?
15
5. There are 5.0 g of Iodine -131 left after 40.35 days. How many grams were in the original sample if its half-life is 8.07 days?
16
an alpha particle ( ), a beta particle ( ), or a gamma ray Radioactive Decay emits:
17
When an unstable atom creates an alpha particle. Alpha particle is identical to that of a helium nucleus. It contains two protons and two neutrons. Alpha Decay He 4 2
18
Alpha Decay Ra 226 88 Rn 222 86 He 4 2
19
X A Z Y A - 4 Z - 2 + He 4 2 Alpha Decay unstable atom more stable atom alpha particle

21
Beta Decay Beta particle is a fast moving electron created when a n 0 changes into a p + & e - When an unstable atom creates a beta particle.
