3. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 7.1 Atomic Theory and Radioactive Decay Natural background radiation exists all around us.  This radiation consists of high energy particles or waves being emitted from a variety of materials. See pages 286 - 287 The electromagnetic spectrum

4. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 7.1 Atomic Theory and Radioactive Decay Radioactivity is the release of high-energy particles or waves.  Can be beneficial  X rays, radiation therapy, and electricity generation Can be harmful.  High-energy particles and waves damage DNA in our cells.  Can be interesting  When atoms lose high-energy particles and waves, ions or even new atoms can be formed. See pages 286 - 287

5. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Searching for Invisible Rays  Roentgen named X rays with an “X” 100 years ago because they were previously unknown.  Becquerel realized uranium emitted seemingly invisible energy as well.  Marie Curie and her husband Pierre named this energy radioactivity.  Early discoveries of radiation relied on photographic equipment.  Later, more sophisticated devices such as the Geiger-Müller counter were developed to more precisely measure radioactivity. See pages 288 - 289 Radium salts, after being placed on a photographic plate, leave behind the dark traces of radiation.

6. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Wihelm Roentgen Received the 1 st Nobel prize in physics (1901) for discovering the X Ray He was expelled for refusing to reveal the identity of a classmate guilty of drawing an unflattering portrait of one of the school's teachers Röntgen refused to take out patents related to his discovery, as he wanted mankind as a whole to benefit from practical applications of the same (personal statement). He did not even want the rays to be named after himpatents

9. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Isotopes and Mass Number Isotopes are different atoms of the same element  same number of protons and therefore the same atomic number as each other.  different numbers of neutrons, therefore isotopes have different mass numbers. (Mass number refers to the protons plus neutrons in an isotope) (Atomic mass = proportional average of the mass numbers for all isotopes of an element.) 19.9% of boron atoms have 5 neutrons, 80.1% have 6 neutrons 19.9% have a mass number of 10, and 80.1% have a mass number of 11 (.199 * 10) + (.801*11) = 10.8 = atomic mass of boron See page 289 - 290

10. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Isotopes and Mass Number Same element = same # of protons = same atomic # Isotope = same element, different # of neutrons Different # of neutrons = different mass #  Mass # = # of protons + # of neutrons  Atomic mass = proportional avg. of the mass #’s for all isotopes of an element

15. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007 Whiteboard Answer Atomic mass is the proportional average of all naturally occuring isotopes 93.2% is potassium-39 1.0% is potassium-40 6.7% is potassium-41 Atomic mass = (0.932 x 39) + (0.001 x 40) + (0.067 x 41) = 39.1

These are called radioisotopes  release energy until they become stable, often as different atoms. See page 293
