  1. ASSIGNMENTS 1.) Read p.292-297 (Radioactivity) 2.) Complete “Types of Radiation” WS (Chap 10.1 Reading Organizer) 3.) p.297 Assessment Questions 1-9

  2. Radioactivity Notes Tim F. Rowbotham 2010

  3. Radioactivity Intro Video “Final Above Ground Atomic Tests”

  4. Nuclear Stability In the nucleus, protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force. It overcomes the weaker electric force of repulsion.

  5. Nuclear Instability But some atoms have unstable nuclei. The strong force is not great enough. Their nuclei have a tendency to “fallapart” a bit due to this instability.

  6. Nuclear Radiation Unstable nuclei will jettison some particles or energy in order to become more stable.

  7. Nuclear Radiation The particles or energy ejected from the nucleus of an atom is what we call nuclear radiation.

  8. Radioactive Elements Radioactive elements are those atoms that have unstable nuclei, thus would eject particles or energy from their nuclei. They are called radioactive isotopes, or radioisotopes for short.

  9. Radioactive Decay When an atom gives off nuclear radiation, we call the process radioactivity or nucleardecay. During nuclear decay, an atom may change into an entirely new element. (Remember, the number of protons is what determines the type of atom.)

  10. Learning Check READY YOUR REMOTE

  11. What causes radioactivity? • A chemical reaction • An unstable nucleus • The earth’s magnetic field • The jet stream

  12. An element that gives off radiation is called • an ion • a molecule • an isotope • a radioisotope

  13. Radioactivity Video Clip - Radioactivity

  14. Nuclear Decay Products Through nuclear decay, an element can change to another element, so we refer to the initial radioisotope as the parent and the element it becomes as the daughter product. PARENT  Radiation + DAUGHTER

  15. Parent & Daughter Elements

  16. Sample Parent & Daughters PARENT  Radiation + DAUGHTER Ra-226  α + Rn-222 U-238  α + Th-234 Th-234  β + Pa-234 C-14  β + N-14 K-42  β + Ar-42

  17. Learning Check READY YOUR REMOTE

  18. The new element formed after the decay of the radioisotope is referred to as the • Parent element • Daughter element • Created element • Nuclear element

  19. The radioisotope giving off radiation is referred to as the • Parent element • Daughter element • Created element • Nuclear element

  20. Types of Nuclear Radiation There are 3 common types of nuclear radiation: ALPHA PARTICLES BETA PARTICLES GAMMA RAYS

  21. Alpha Decay In alpha decay, an alpha particle is released from the nucleus. An alpha particle is 2 protons attached to 2 neutrons. It is the same as a helium nucleus.

  33. The new element formed after the decay of the radioisotope is referred to as the • Parent element • Daughter element • Created element • Nuclear element

  34. What causes radioactivity? • A chemical reaction • An unstable nucleus • The earth’s magnetic field • The jet stream

  35. An element that gives off radiation is called • a radioisotope • an ion • a molecule • an isotope

  37. Beta Decay In beta decay, a beta particle is released from the nucleus. A beta particle is really an electron. During beta decay, a neutron changes into a proton and electron. The proton stays and the electron is jettisoned from the nucleus.

  41. Beta Decay http://www.hk-phy.org/resources/images/atomic01/?N=A

  42. What is a beta particle? • An electron • A proton • A proton & a neutron • 2 protons & 2 neutrons

  43. Gamma Decay In gamma decay, no particle is released by the nucleus – only energy!! Gamma decay, by itself, does not change the atom into a new element. Gamma decay often accompanies alpha or beta decay.
