Atoms. Radioactivity. Half-Life. Atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has all of the properties of that element.. Composition of the Atom. Nucleus. Positively charged. Very Dense – most of the mass of the atom is found in the nucleus. Chapter 25. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.. Milos. June 2011. . V. . Kaplunovsky. . A. .

Chemical reactions involve changes in the electronic structure of the atom. Presentation by Peter Huessy of the Mitchell Institute/AFA to the SDC Symposium, June 20-21, 2016 Albuquerque, New Mexico. WHERE HAVE WE BEEN? . WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO DO? . WHERE ARE WE TRYING TO GO?. Nuclear Power Plant in . Richland, WA. Review From . Friday. ’s . Lesson. The Band of Stability. Certain isotopes are more stable than others. The ratio of protons to neutrons is important in determining stability. GGI May 2011. . V. . Kaplunovsky. . A. . Dymarsky. , D. . Melnikov. and S. Seki, . Introduction. In recent years . holography. or . gauge/gravity duality. has provided a new tool to handle strong coupling problems.. 22.1 The Nucleus. New terms:. Nucleons- protons, neutrons and electrons. Nuclide- the atom. New symbols:. 228. 88. Ra . Superscript = atomic mass. Subscript= atomic #. Radium – 228. # is the atomic mass. 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). Learning Goal . Write a balanced nuclear equation showing mass numbers and atomic numbers for radioactive decay.. Balancing Nuclear Equations. In a process called . radioactive decay. , the nucleus breaks down by emitting radiation. . . It . involves a chemical reaction run in a continuous flow stream.  The process offers potential for the efficient manufacture of chemical products. . . Recent . breakthroughs using Vapourtec systems are in production of . A naturally . radioactive element . will . emit . energy without the absorption of energy from an outside source. . The nucleus of an element becomes radioactive because of an unstable ratio of protons to neutrons in the nucleus.. Standards Addressed in this Chapter. SPS3. Students will distinguish the characteristics and components of radioactivity.. Differentiate among alpha and beta particles and gamma radiation.. Differentiate between fission and fusion..
