Nuclear Chemistry

Radioactivity 1. Marie Curie discovered that atoms are made up of smaller particles. She discovered the spontaneous disintegration of some elements into smaller pieces. *Radioactivity (radioactive decay – decay of nucleus)

Nuclear Reactions vs. Chemical Reactions 2. Nuclear Reactions involve the nucleus. The nucleus opens, and protons and neutrons are rearranged. 3. The opening of the nucleus releases a tremendous amount of energy that holds the nucleus together – called binding energy. 4. “Normal” chemical reactions involve electrons, not protons and neutrons.

Types of Nuclear Radiation A) Alpha (α) – a positively charged Helium isotope Symbol in Equation– Penetrating Ability – least penetrating, can be stopped by a sheet of paper

Types of Nuclear Radiation B) Beta (β) – an electron Symbol in Equation– Penetrating Ability – faster and more penetrating than alpha particles, stopped by a piece of aluminum foil

Types of Nuclear Radiation C) Gamma Ray (γ) – pure energy, EM wave with highest frequency and shortest wavelength Symbol in Equation– Penetrating Ability – stopped by thick blocks of dense materials, such as concrete or lead

Other Symbols… a) Neutron Symbol in Equation– b) Positron – positive electron c) Proton – referred to as H-1 Symbol in Equation-

Balancing Nuclear Reactions 5. Atomic numbers and mass numbers must balance. Use a particle or an isotope to fill in the missing protons and neutrons.

Alpha Emission 6. Mass Number: (protons + neutrons) Atomic Number: (protons)

Beta Emission 7. Mass Number: (protons + neutrons) Atomic Number: (protons)

Learning Check #1 What radioactive isotope is produced in the following bombardment of Boron?

Learning Check #2 9. Write the nuclear equation for the Beta emitter Co-60.

Gamma Ray Emission 10. New elements or new isotopes of known elements are produced by bombarding an atom with a subatomic particle such as a proton or neutron—or even a much heavier particle. 11. Reactions using neutrons are called gamma reactions because gamma rays are usually given off.

Gamma Ray Emission 12. Radioisotopes used in medicine are usually made by gamma reactions. 13. Example of a gamma reaction:
