PPT-Radioactive Decay I can solve half-life problems.

Radioisotopes decay in a predictable way The time is takes for half of a sample to decay is called the half life for the isotope Every radioactive element has a unique halflife C14 is . The purpose of this experiment is . to use first-order nuclear decay kinetics to determine the half-life of a nuclear reaction.. Smoke Detectors. Americium-241. Smoke from a fire can be detected at a very early stage. State that radioactive decay is a random and spontaneous process and that the rate of decay decreases exponentially with time.. Define the term radioactive half-life. . Determine the half-life of a nuclide from a decay curve. . 91

Radioactive Decay. A nucleus may be bound in a relatively high energy state, and if it can attain a lower energy, it will eventually do so.

When the nucleus of an atom possesses either too many or too few neutrons compared to the number of protons it becomes unstable. These are called radioactive isotopes. Unstable nuclei split up in a process called radioactive decay and emit radioactive radiation.. Unit 11: Nuclear Chemistry Topic 1: Natural Radioactivity Objective: Identify the 4 modes of decay, use Table N and O to identify natural radioactive decay and write nuclear equations, identify the similarities and differences between physical, chemical, and nuclear reactions, identify what transmutation is adioactivity is a part of nature Everyatoms are unstable that is they have toomuch energy When radioactive atoms spon-taneously release their extra energy they areeventually though they do not all dec to use first-order nuclear decay kinetics to determine the half-life of a nuclear reaction.. Smoke Detectors. Americium-241. Smoke from a fire can be detected at a very early stage. Where might we see radioactive materials in everyday life?. I can:. -recognize the meaning of radioactive. . -recognize . that through radioactive decay, the unstable nucleus emits radiation in the form of very fast-moving particles and energy to produce a new nucleus, thus changing the identity of the element and nuclei that undergo this process are said to be radioactive. . Where: . A . = Activity after some time t.. A. o. . = Original activity of the sample.. t . = Decay time . λ = the radioactive decay constant equal to . The half-life equation can be also used for activity, simply by replacing the number of atoms .
