Chapter 15 Nuclear Radiation

Radioactive Isotopes A radioactive isotope has an unstable nucleus and emits radiation to become more stable. Isotopes of elements may be stable or unstable.

Nuclear Radiation Nuclear radiation, Is the radiation emitted by an unstable atom. Takes the form of alpha particles, neutrons, beta particles, positrons, or gamma rays.

Shielding for Radiation Protection

Alpha Decay When a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle, a new nucleus has: A mass number that is 4 less than that of the initial nucleus. An atomic number that is decreased by 2.

Balancing Nuclear Equations In a balanced nuclear equation, the sum of the mass numbers and the sum of the atomic numbers for the nuclei of the reactant and the products must be equal. MASS NUMBERS Total = 251 = 251 251Cf 247Cm + 4He 98 96 2 Total = 98 = 98 ATOMIC NUMBERS

Equation for Alpha Decay Write an equation for the alpha decay of 222Rn. STEP 1 Write the incomplete equation 222Rn ?s + 4He 86 2 STEP 2 Determine the mass number of the new nucleus. Mass number: 222 – 4 = 218 STEP 3 Determine the atomic number of the new nucleus. Atomic number: 86 – 2 = 84 STEP 4 Determine the symbol of the new nucleus. Symbol of element 84 = Po STEP 5 Complete the equation 222Rn 218Po + 4He 86 84 2

Beta Decay A beta particle, Is an electron emitted from the nucleus. Forms when a neutron in the nucleus breaks down. 1n 0e + 1H 0 -1 1

Writing An Equation for a Beta Emitter 42Potassium is a beta emitter. 42K new nucleus + 0e 19 -1 The atomic number of the new nucleus increases by 1. Mass number : (same) = 42 Atomic number: 19 + 1 = 20 Symbol of element 20 = Ca The nuclear equation is: 42K 42Ca + 0e 19 20 -1

Learning Check Write the nuclear equation for the beta decay of 60Co.

Positron Emission In position emission, A proton is converted to a neutron and a positron. 1 p 1n + 0e 1 0 +1 The mass number of the new nucleus is the same, but the atomic number decreases by 1. 49Mn 49Cr + 0e 25 24 +1

Gamma  Radiation In gamma radiation, Energy is emitted from an unstable nucleus and indicated by m. The mass number and the atomic number of the new nucleus are the same. 99mTc 99Tc +  43 43

Summary of Types of Radiation

Summary of Changes in Mass and Atomic Numbers

Producing Radioactive Isotopes Radioactive isotopes are produced, When a stable nucleus is converted to a radioactive nucleus by bombarding it with a small particle. In a process called transmutation.

Learning Check What radioactive isotope is produced when a neutron bombards 59Co? 59Co + 1n ? + 4He 27 0 2
