Chapter 31 Nuclear Applications

Neutron-Proton Ratios Any element with more than one proton (i.e., anything but hydrogen) will have repulsions between the protons in the nucleus. A strong nuclear force helps keep the nucleus from flying apart.

Neutron-Proton Ratios Neutrons play a key role stabilizing the nucleus. Therefore, the ratio of neutrons to protons is an important factor.

Neutron-Proton Ratios For smaller nuclei (Z  20) stable nuclei have a neutron-to- proton ratio close to 1:1.

Neutron-Proton Ratios As nuclei get larger, it takes a greater number of neutrons to stabilize the nucleus.

Stable Nuclei The shaded region in the figure shows what nuclides would be stable, the so-called belt of stability.

Stable Nuclei Nuclei above this belt have too many neutrons. They tend to decay by emitting beta particles.

Stable Nuclei Nuclei below the belt have too many protons. They tend to become more stable by positron emission or electron capture.

Stable Nuclei There are no stable nuclei with an atomic number greater than 83. These nuclei tend to decay by alpha emission.

Radioactive Series Large radioactive nuclei cannot stabilize by undergoing only one nuclear transformation. They undergo a series of decays until they form a stable nuclide (often a nuclide of lead).

Some Trends Nuclei with 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, or 82 protons or 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, or 126 neutrons tend to be more stable than nuclides with a different number of nucleons.

Some Trends Nuclei with an even number of protons and neutrons tend to be more stable than nuclides that have odd numbers of these nucleons.

Binding Energy Curve

Energy = Mass Binding Energy: The amount of energy released when protons/neutrons bind to one another Mass Defect: The loss of mass by binding (at the atomic level)

Energy in Nuclear Reactions There is a tremendous amount of energy stored in nuclei. Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc 2, relates directly to the calculation of this energy.

Energy in Nuclear Reactions In the types of chemical reactions we have encountered previously, the amount of mass converted to energy has been minimal. However, these energies are many thousands of times greater in nuclear reactions.

Energy in Nuclear Reactions For example, the mass change for the decay of 1 mol of uranium-238 is − g. The change in energy,  E, is then  E = (  m) c 2  E = (−4.6  10 −6 kg)(3.00  10 8 m/s) 2  E = −4.1  J

Calculate Use these values (given on quiz) Mass of proton: u Mass of neutron: u 1 u = MeV The carbon – 12 isotope has a nuclear mass of u. Calculate its mass defect and binding energy in MeV

More A nitrogen – 15 isotope has a mass of u. Calculate its mass defect and binding energy An oxygen – 16 isotope has a mass of u. Calculate its mass defect and binding energy

Nuclear Fission How does one tap all that energy? Nuclear fission is the type of reaction carried out in nuclear reactors.

Nuclear Fission Bombardment of the radioactive nuclide with a neutron starts the process. Neutrons released in the transmutation strike other nuclei, causing their decay and the production of more neutrons.

Nuclear Fission This process continues in what we call a nuclear chain reaction.

Nuclear Fission If there are not enough radioactive nuclides in the path of the ejected neutrons, the chain reaction will die out.

Nuclear Fission Therefore, there must be a certain minimum amount of fissionable material present for the chain reaction to be sustained: Critical Mass.

Nuclear Reactors In nuclear reactors the heat generated by the reaction is used to produce steam that turns a turbine connected to a generator.

Nuclear Reactors The reaction is kept in check by the use of control rods. These block the paths of some neutrons, keeping the system from reaching a dangerous supercritical mass.

Nuclear Fusion Fusion would be a superior method of generating power. – The good news is that the products of the reaction are not radioactive. – The bad news is that in order to achieve fusion, the material must be in the plasma state at several million kelvins.

Nuclear Fusion Tokamak apparati like the one shown at the right show promise for carrying out these reactions. – (This slide is old, not working as well as they hoped) They use magnetic fields to heat the material.
