Final Jeopardy

2. 1 - $100
What is an atom?
The smallest part of any material

3. 1 - $200 What are the different parts of an atom?
Proton, neutron, and electron

4. 1 - $300 What type of diagram do we use today to draw an atom?
Modern atomic model (Bohr model accepted)

5. 1 - $400
Who was the scientist credited with the discovery of the electron?
J.J. Thompson

6. 1 - $500
What English chemist came up with the atomic model that still mostly stands today?
John Dalton

7. 2 - $100 What is the Periodic Table of Elements?
A table that holds all elements that have been discovered. Along with their names, atomic numbers, and mass numbers.

8. 2 - $200 How is the Periodic Table organized?
It is organized into 18 groups, 7 periods, and 8 families

9. 2 - $300
Who is credited with the creation of the Periodic Table of Elements?
Dimitri Mendeleev

10. 2 - $400
What is the element in group 17 and period 4?

11. 2 - $500
What does Vanadium become when alpha decay happens?

12. 3 - $100
What is an isotope?
A change in the mass number. Occurs when the neutrons of an atom are changed; more are added or some are taken away.

13. 3 - $200
There are two different types of ions. What are they and how are they different?
Cation and Anion. In a cation electrons are subtracted or taken away from the atom. In an anion electrons are added to the atom. This creates a more positive charge or more negative charge.

14. 3 - $300 How are isotopes written?
They are written as the element name – mass number. Example: Carbon- 14

15. 3 - $400
Draw Fluorine – 20.
P= 9, N= 11, E= 9

16. 3 - $500
P=4, N=5, E=7

17. 4 - $100 Name one radioactive element
Uranium, potassium, carbon-14, elements

18. 4 - $200 Name one of the most radioactive places on earth
Fukushima, Japan; Hiroshima, Japan; Chernobyl, Ukraine

19. 4 - $300 List 2 ways that we are exposed to radiation
X-rays, Smoking, walking outside, microwaves, cell phones, Sun, etc.

20. 4 - $400
Radiation is measured in microsieverts, about how many microsieverts are in one banana?
About 2 microsieverts

21. 4 - $500
About how much radiation are we all exposed to in one years time?
About 2,000 microsieverts

22. 5 - $100
There are three different types of radioactive decay, what are they?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma

23. 5 - $200 With an alpha particle what is being changed?
2 protons are being lost and 2 neutrons are being lost. Subtract 2 from the atomic number and 4 from the mass number.

24. 5 - $300 What is being changed in a beta particle?
1 neutron is being pulled out and being changed into 1 proton and 1 electron. Subtract 1 neutron and add 1 proton and 1 electron.

25. 5 - $400
If beta decay happens to an atom of Boron what does it become? What does it look like? (Draw it out)
P= 6, N=5, E= Carbon-11

26. 5 - $500
What happens when alpha decays happens to an atom of Sulfur? Draw it out. What does it become?

27. Final Jeopardy
How many microsieverts of radiation is a U.S. nuclear power plant employee limited to a year?
50,000 microsieverts a year
