PPT-The Nucleus and its Decay

Read pages 273281 Radioactive Decay Discovered in 1896 by Antoine Henri Becquerel Inspired by discovery of Xrays wanted to know connection between those and fluorescent or phosphorescent materials. Chemistry. ________________ involve changes with electrons. . ________________ involve changes in atomic nuclei. . Spontaneously-changing nuclei emit ________ and. are said to be _________. . Chemical reactions. 2. The Atom. All matter is composed of atoms.. An atom is composed of three subatomic particles: electrons (-), protons (+), and neutrons (0). The nucleus of the atom contains the protons and the neutrons (also called nucleons.). Isotope Geochemistry. Lecture 26. Trace Elements During Crystallization. As for melting, we can imagine two possibilities: equilibrium and fractional crystallization.. Equilibrium crystallization occurs when the total liquid and total solid remain in equilibrium throughout the crystallization. If we define . Discovery. ). Most . of the nuclides that have been identified are radioactive. A radioactive nuclide spontaneously emits a particle, transforming itself in the process into a different nuclide, occupying a different square on the . Text Book: Chapter 28 . Review Book: Topic 12. Nuclear Chemistry: Stability. Transmutation:. is a change in the atomic nucleus of one into that of another.. Stability of nuclei . is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons.

Alpha Decay . we have seen before, . a. -decay represents the disintegration of a parent to a daughter through the emission of the nucleus of a helium atom, the transition can be characterized as . Chart of the Nuclides. General Layout. Each nuclide occupies a square in a grid where. Atomic number (Z) is plotted vertically. Number of neutrons (N) is plotted horizontally. Heavily bordered square at left side of each row gives. When sedimentary rock is deposited in layers it is deposited horizontally.. Scientists use this “Principle of Original Horizontality” to help them determine the age of the layers.. The older layers of rock are found below the younger layers of rock.. Section 21.1 Types of Radioactivity. Objectives: Analyze Common Sources of Background Radiation, Compare and Contrast Alpha, Beta and Gamma Radiation, Apply the concept of Half-Life of a Radioactive Element. Quiz.

The ratio of neutrons to protons in the nucleus determines the stability of a specific nucleus. . Too many neutrons = unstable. If any element has an unstable isotope, it is radioactive and called a radioisotope. .
