1 Nuclear chemistry

2 Subatomic Particles Protons- plus charge In the nucleus
Neutrons- neutral Electrons - negative charge Outside the nucleus

4 Stability of Nuclei Ratio of neutrons to protons determines stability = “belt of stability” Ratio of nuclei with atomic numbers greater than 83 makes those nuclei unstable (radioactive, radioisotope) Unstable nucleus decays forming products that are more stable; emits radiation

5 Radiation Radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom.
Unstable nucleus emits a particle or energy  alpha  gamma  beta

6

7 Types of Radiation 2+ 1- 1+ Alpha particle () Beta particle (-)
helium nucleus paper 2+ Beta particle (-) electron 1- lead Positron (+) positron 1+ concrete Gamma () high-energy photon

9 Alpha Emission Numbers must balance!! daughter nuclide parent nuclide
particle Numbers must balance!!

10 Beta Emission Numbers must balance!! parent daughter electron nuclide

11 Positron Emission Numbers must balance!! parent daughter positron
nuclide daughter nuclide positron Numbers must balance!!

12 Balancing Nuclear Equations
1) Use Table N to determine decay mode 2) In the reactants and products… Atomic and mass numbers must balance 3) A new element will be formed… according to the new atomic number

13 DECAY MODE

14 Learning Check 1 What forms when carbon -14 decays?

15 Solution 1 What forms when carbon -14 decays? 14C  0  + 14 N 6 -1 7
Worksheet: Balancing nuclear equations

16 Half-Life of a Radioisotope
The time for the radiation level to fall (decay) to one-half its initial value decay curve 8 mg 4 mg 2 mg mg initial 1 half-life 2 3

17

18 Examples of Half-Life Isotope Half life C-15 2.4 sec Ra-224 3.6 days
I days C years U years

19 HALF- LIFE

20 Learning Check 2 ½ life amount time
How many half lives will it take for 50 grams of 99 Tc to decay to 6.25 g? ½ life amount time

21 Solution 2 How many half lives will it take for 50 grams of 99 Tc to decay to 6.25 g? 3 half lives ½ life amount time x 105 (2.13 x 105) (2.13 x 105)

22 ½ life amount time

23 Transmutation Natural Artificial One element becomes another. Alpha
Beta Gamma Positron Artificial Fission Fusion

24 Nuclear Fission Fission
larger unstable nuclei break up into smaller more stable nuclei; release of neutrons causes a chain reaction and energy release 235U n Ba Kr + 3 1n + Energy

25 Fission

27 Nuclear Power Fission Reactors Cooling Tower

28 Nuclear Power Fission Reactors

29 Nuclear Fusion Fusion small nuclei combine 2H + 3H 4He + 1n + 1 1 2 0
Occurs in the sun and other stars, hydrogen bomb Energy

30 Nuclear Power Fusion Reactors (not yet sustainable)

31 Nuclear Power Fusion Reactors (not yet sustainable)
National Spherical Torus Experiment Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor Princeton University

32 Fission vs. Fusion 235U is limited fuel is abundant danger of meltdown
toxic waste thermal pollution fuel is abundant no danger of meltdown no toxic waste not yet sustainable

33 Nuclear Weapons Atomic Bomb
chemical explosion is used to form a critical mass of 235U or 239Pu fission develops into an uncontrolled chain reaction Hydrogen Bomb chemical explosion  fission  fusion fusion increases the fission rate more powerful than the atomic bomb

34 Learning Check 3 Indicate if each of the following are
Fission (2) fusion Nucleus splits Large amounts of energy released Small nuclei form larger nuclei Hydrogen nuclei react Energy

35 Solution 3 Indicate if each of the following are Fission (2) fusion
Nucleus splits Large amounts of energy released Small nuclei form larger nuclei Hydrogen nuclei react

36 Nuclear Chemistry Uses
Dating dating previously living materials (Carbon-14) dating rocks and other geological formations (Uranium-238)

37 Nuclear Chemistry Uses
Radiation treatment using -rays from cobalt-60. Medical Application Radiation Treatment larger doses are used to kill cancerous cells in targeted organs (Cobalt-60) Radioisotope Tracers (absorbed by specific organs and used to diagnose diseases) Iodine-131 detection and treatment of thyroid conditions Technetium-99 detects presence of tumors

38 Nuclear Chemistry Uses
Food Irradiation  radiation is used to kill bacteria (Co-60 and Cs-137) Consumer Products ionizing smoke detectors - 241Am

39 Nuclear Chemistry Uses
Radioactive Tracers (tracers follow the path of a material in a system) Map the path of carbon in metabolic processes (Carbon-14) study plant growth, photosynthesis (Phosphorus-31)
