University of Nebraska. SPRING 2009. 17 April 2009. What is the mass defect for iodine 131? . Given: . 1. H atom mass = 1.007825 . amu. , neutron mass = 1.008665 . amu. , . 131. I mass = 130.90612 . Pierre Curie was already a famous scientist before he married Marie Sklodowska in 1895.  This famous couple did not only find true love, they also discovered radium and polonium.  For their groundbreaking research in radioactivity, the couple were awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics.  It was Marie Curie who coined the term "radioactivity", and in her honor, the 1910 Radiology Congress chose the curie as the basic unit of radioactivity.  Pierre died from being run over by a horse drawn wagon, but Marie continued their research, and was eventually awarded a second Nobel Prize, the 1911 prize for Chemistry.  She died in 1934, suffering from pernicious anemia which had undoubtedly been the result of years of radiation exposure..

A nucleus may be bound in a relatively high energy state, and if it can attain a lower energy, it will eventually do so. Nuclear Stability . Nuclear stability . means that nucleus is stable meaning . that it . does not spontaneously emit any kind of radioactivity (radiation). . On the other hand, . if the . nucleus is unstable (not stable), it has the tendency of emitting some kind of . Fission produces highly radioactive isotopes. All of the highly radioactive materials on earth have been produced by fission.. Cs-137 (Cesium-137). Cs-137 is . produced by nuclear fission . for use in medical devices and gauges. .

Unscramble the following keywords for today’s lesson:. . Yecad. Iriaovadect. Ootspei. Nsteruon. nadgit. Isotopes . 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.. 24.1 Nuclear Radiation. 24.2 Radioactive Decay (includes decay rates & radiochemical dating). 24.3 Nuclear Reactions (Transmutation. Part only). 24.4 Applications & Effects of Nuclear Reactions (except for radiation dose and intensity/distance). 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 What are they? . exposure … contamination.

Geiger-Muller Counter. An atom is composed of positively charged nucleus that is surrounded by. negatively charged electrons.. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons = Atomic Number. 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 .
