Concept Map radioactivity Type of radiation emitted Penetrating powers Used of radioactive substances Half-life

Radioactive decay  An unstable nucleus changes by ejecting small fragments. This process is called radioactivity.  The changing radioactive atoms are said to decay.  Fragments which can be thrown out include: 1. Neutron 2. Alpha particles (bundles of 2 neutrons & 2protons) 3. Beta particles (which are electrons) 4. Gamma rays (which are electromagnetic rays like X- rays.

Cont’d  The number of protons in the nucleus changes when an atom emits alpha or beta particles.  Losing gamma-rays only reduces the energy of the nucleus.

Half-life  Each radioactive isotope decays at its own fixed rate  The time taken by one-half of the atoms to decay is constant  Half-lives can vary from tiny fractions of a second to hundreds or thousands of years

Penetrating power  Alpha & beta particles & gamma rays have different powers of penetration. 1. Alpha particles are stopped by a sheet of paper or human skin. 2. Beta particles will penetrate a thin sheet of metal 3. Gamma-rays may penetrate several inches of lead.

Cont’d alpha beta gama tissue aluminium lead

Uses of radioactivity  Chemical tracer  To date ancient objects  To produce electricity on a large scale & small scale  In radiotherapy  In smoke alarms  To sterilize materials

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt
