Review Who was the first scientist to say that
matter was made up of tiny particles? How do we write ions and isotopes in a
shorthand notation? Why is it necessary to have both the ion
and isotope represented in a symbol when determining number of subatomic particles?
Cations are _______ ions and anions are ________ ions.

Radioactivity•How did Becquerel discover radiation?
•What particles did Rutherford discover dealing with radioactivity?

Radioactive elements•Where are protons, neutrons, and electrons each found in an atom?
•If we are changing the composition of an atom’s nucleus, what particles change?
•These particles are also referred to as nucleons.

Nuclear Reactions•Change the composition of an atoms nucleus.•Strong force: holds the nucleus together.
**A greater number of protons requires a greater number of neutrons to hold them together.

Stability of atoms Stable atoms (nuclei) have an equal
number of protons and neutrons.
Unstable nuclei have more neutrons than protons.
Which of these do you think is more likely to undergo a nuclear reaction?
![Page 7: Average Atomic Mass](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070503/568156cd550346895dc46364/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Nuclear Reactions and Radioactivity
•Unstable nuclei are more likely to undergo nuclear reactions.
•These isotopes are radioactive.
•What elements did we hear about already that are radioactive?
![Page 8: Average Atomic Mass](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070503/568156cd550346895dc46364/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Radioactivity The _______ the element, the more
unstable it is.
All elements have at least 1 radioactive isotope.
All isotopes of elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive. Why?

Spontaneous Emission of Radiation
Radioactive decay: unstable nuclei will spontaneously emit radiationThe original nucleus emits radiation and
forms at least one new nucleus
Total mass number and atomic number must be conserved

Nuclear Reactions and Radioactivity•Alpha Emission: a helium nucleus is emitted.•Restricted to very heavy nuclei
•Beta Emission: an electron is emitted from the nucleus.•A neutron is converted into a proton and electron.
•Gamma Emission: a photon is emitted.•Nucleus is changing from an excited state to ground energy state.

Half-lives used for dating materials•If we know the original amount of a material and can count how much is currently left, we can determine how old something is using its half-life.
•Why is this possible?
•What is the most common form of radioactive dating?
![Page 28: Average Atomic Mass](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070503/568156cd550346895dc46364/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Radiocarbon dating•Used to determine how long something has been dead for.
•All living things contain C-12 and C-14 at a constant, known ratio. When something dies this ratio changes.•Which one of these isotopes is unstable?
•Which one will undergo radioactive decay?
![Page 29: Average Atomic Mass](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070503/568156cd550346895dc46364/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Radiocarbon dating•Carbon-14 has a known half-life of 5730 years.
•For dating: Detect the amount of C-14 in something that has died and compare this to the amount of C-12 present.
•After 4 half-lives there is not enough C-14 to detect, so potassium-40 is used.•Half-life = 1.28 billion years

Nuclear Energy•Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission create large amounts of energy.
•Early on scientists believed this energy could be used as an energy source. The only problem was being able to control the reactions and energy produced.
![Page 35: Average Atomic Mass](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070503/568156cd550346895dc46364/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Nuclear Fusion•Occurs when two small nuclei fuse (join) to form larger more stable nuclei.
•These reactions require very high temperatures.•Occur on the sun and in hydrogen bomb
•Hard to control energy produced from these reactions.

Nuclear Fission•Occurs when a heavy nucleus spits into two smaller nuclei.
•Easier to control energy produced from these reactions so this is used in nuclear power plants.
•Products have a large neutron-to-proton ratio (radioactive waste).
