ConcepTest 31.1 Nuclear Reactions 1) Q < 0 2) Q > 0 3) Q = 0 4) sign of Q depends on the nucleus What is the Q-value for radioactive decay reactions?

ConcepTest 31.1 Nuclear Reactions 1) Q < 0 2) Q > 0 3) Q = 0 4) sign of Q depends on the nucleus What is the Q-value for radioactive decay reactions? Radioactive decay happens spontaneously, because the nucleus can reach a lower energy state. Thus, such reactions can only occur spontaneously if they release energy (exothermic ), so the Q-value is positive. Follow-up: Is radioactive decay an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

ConcepTest 31.2 Nuclear Reaction Products 1) 2) 3) 4) O 17 8 What is the nucleus that results in the reaction given below? O 15 7 N 15 7 F 15 7 X A Z

ConcepTest 31.2 Nuclear Reaction Products 1) 2) 3) 4) O 17 8 What is the nucleus that results in the reaction given below? O 15 7 N 15 7 F 15 7 Add up the totals for nucleons (A) and protons (Z) separately, and see what you need to balance both sides: Nucleons: 1 + 16 = x + 2  x = 15 Protons: 0 + 8 = y + 1  y = 7 The missing nucleus has A = 15 and Z = 7. X A Z Follow-up: What would you get if you started with p + 16O instead?

ConcepTest 31.3 Beta Decay Products What element results when 14C undergoes beta decay? X A Z

ConcepTest 31.3 Beta Decay Products What element results when 14C undergoes beta decay? The reaction is: Essentially, a neutron turns into a proton (emitting a b– particle), so the atomic number Z of the nucleus must increase by one unit, but without changing the atomic mass A. X A Z

ConcepTest 31.4 Nuclear Fission How does the total mass of the fission fragments compare to the mass of the original nucleus in a fission reaction? 1) fission fragments have more mass 2) fission fragments have less mass 3) fission fragments have the same mass

ConcepTest 31.4 Nuclear Fission How does the total mass of the fission fragments compare to the mass of the original nucleus in a fission reaction? 1) fission fragments have more mass 2) fission fragments have less mass 3) fission fragments have the same mass The fission reaction releases energy, so the total energy (or mass) of the fission fragments must be less than the energy (or mass) of the original nucleus. Follow-up: Where are the fission fragments located relative to the original nucleus on the curve of binding energy per nucleon?

ConcepTest 31.5 Nuclear Fusion How does the binding energy per nucleon of a fusion product compare to that of the pieces that combined to form it? 1) product has greater BE than the pieces 2) product has less BE than the pieces 3) product has the same BE than the pieces

ConcepTest 31.5 Nuclear Fusion How does the binding energy per nucleon of a fusion product compare to that of the pieces that combined to form it? 1) product has greater BE than the pieces 2) product has less BE than the pieces 3) product has the same BE than the pieces The fusion reaction releases energy, so the product is more tightly bound (more stable) than the separate pieces that combined to form it. This means that the binding energy per nucleon is greater for the fusion product. Follow-up: Which weighs more: the fusion product or the pieces?

ConcepTest 31.6 Radiation Shielding Which type of radiation goes farther in matter before losing all of its energy ? 1) alpha radiation 2) beta radiation 3) gamma radiation 4) all about the same distance

ConcepTest 31.6 Radiation Shielding Which type of radiation goes farther in matter before losing all of its energy ? 1) alpha radiation 2) beta radiation 3) gamma radiation 4) all about the same distance Alpha particles have such a large charge, they ionize many atoms in a short distance, and so lose their energy rapidly and stop. Gamma rays travel great distances before ionizing an atom. a b g paper aluminum lead
