13. 13 An atom of an element is electrically neutral; the net charge of an atom is zero.an element is electrically neutral; the net charge of an atom is zero. has an equal number of protons and electrons.has an equal number of protons and electrons. number of protons = number of electrons Aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The net charge is zero. 13 protons (13+) + 13 electrons (13 -) = 0 13 protons (13+) + 13 electrons (13 -) = 0 Electrons in An Atom

14. 14 Mass Number Since protons and neutrons account for most of the mass of the atom, count the number of protons and neutrons to determine the mass number!!! to determine the mass number!!!

25. 25 Why Do We Care About Isotopes? Answer: Nuclear Stability! “belt of stability” Unstable nuclei Radioactive Radioactive Can decay to release alpha particles, beta particles and positrons. Can decay to release alpha particles, beta particles and positrons.

26. 26 Radiation Primer: Subatomic Particles Revisited Radiation comes from nucleus of an atom Unstable nucleus emits a particle or energy protons and/or neutrons typically lost from nucleus changing identity of element protons and/or neutrons typically lost from nucleus changing identity of element  alpha (particle)  alpha (particle)  beta (particle)  beta (particle)  gamma (pure energy)  gamma (pure energy)

29. 29 Medical Uses of Radiation Nuclear medicine has two main arenas Diagnostic methods Diagnostic methods Small amounts of radioisotopes administered to help image an organ or follow a physiological process Small amounts of radioisotopes administered to help image an organ or follow a physiological process Therapeutic methods Therapeutic methods Larger radiation doses to deliver fatal punch to diseased tissue Larger radiation doses to deliver fatal punch to diseased tissue

30. 30 Diagnostic Methods Radioisotopes behave chemically the same as stable isotopes of the same atom Thus, can use to target an organ or a physiological process Usually  -emitters because radiation has to emerge from the body if the imaging equipment is to see it
