Review Atomic Number (Z) – number of protons
Mass Number (A) – sum of protons and neutrons Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

Radioactive Decay Nucleus undergoes decomposition to form a different nucleus. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

Radioactive Stability
Nuclides with 84 or more protons are unstable. Light nuclides are stable when Z equals A – Z (neutron/proton ratio is 1). For heavier elements the neutron/proton ratio required for stability is greater than 1 and increases with Z. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved
5
Radioactive Stability
Certain combinations of protons and neutrons seem to confer special stability. Even numbers of protons and neutrons are more often stable than those with odd numbers. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved
6
Radioactive Stability
Certain specific numbers of protons or neutrons produce especially stable nuclides. 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126 Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

Which of the following produces a particle? electron capture positron
CONCEPT CHECK! Which of the following produces a particle? electron capture positron alpha particle beta particle The correct answer is d. Go through the rest of the equations to identify these types of equations as well. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

Rate of Decay Rate = kN The rate of decay is proportional to the number of nuclides. This represents a first-order process. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

EXERCISE! A first order reaction is 35% complete at the end of 55 minutes. What is the value of k? k = 7.8 × 10-3 min-1 k = 7.8 x 10-3 min-1. If students use [A] = 35 in the integrated rate law (instead of 65), they will get k = 1.9 x 10-2 min-1. Note: Use the red box animation to assist in explaining how to solve the problem.

Energy and Mass When a system gains or loses energy it also gains or loses a quantity of mass. E = mc2 Δm = mass defect ΔE = change in energy If ΔE is negative (exothermic), mass is lost from the system. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved
27
Mass Defect (Δm) Calculating the mass defect for :
Since atomic masses include the masses of the electrons, we must account for the electron mass. nucleus is “synthesized” from 2 protons and two neutrons.
28
Binding Energy The energy required to decompose the nucleus into its components. Iron-56 is the most stable nucleus and has a binding energy of 8.79 MeV. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

Nuclear Fission and Fusion
Fusion – Combining two light nuclei to form a heavier, more stable nucleus. Fission – Splitting a heavy nucleus into two nuclei with smaller mass numbers. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

Biological Effects of Radiation
Depend on: Energy of the radiation Penetrating ability of the radiation Ionizing ability of the radiation Chemical properties of the radiation source Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved
37
rem (roentgen equivalent for man)
The energy dose of the radiation and its effectiveness in causing biologic damage must be taken into account. Number of rems = (number of rads) × RBE rads = radiation absorbed dose RBE = relative effectiveness of the radiation in causing biologic damage
