  7. Readings • Chapter 2 on the electromagnetic spectrum (page 75) • Chapter 7.7 - What is radioactivity? How are gamma rays different than visible light? How are they similar?

  8. Announcements • Assignment #1 is due in your TA’s email Inbox Monday before lecture! • Please send to your TA and myself! • See the course website for the full details!

  9. PRELAB QUIZ for Week #2 Due before your lab next week Unlimited number of tries allowed this week only.

  10. Topics for Today • Elements and Atoms and Molecules, oh boy • Inside the Atom • Mass Number and Isotopes • More on Radon

  11. Handout

  12. ELEMENT: Eleven elements make up over 99% of your body. Which ones?

  13. Chapter 11 (page 488) • Elements in the human body Figure 11.3 and Table 11.2 Which compound is most abundant in your body?

  14. Rn 86 Review - Elements • One of the hundred or so symbols on the periodic table. • Which ones do you need to know?

  15. Interlude

  16. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that we can identify as the element. Can we SEE atoms?

  17. Microscopes

  18. Copper Surface Scanning Tunneling Microscope

  19. What is wrong with this picture?

  20. What is wrong with this picture? • How big are these atoms?

  21. Short Answer The diameter is around 1 to 5 x 10-10 meters Or 0.0000000001 meters! How small is this?

  22. Powers of 10 Website • http://molecular.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/index.html

  23. A pinhead is about 1 x 10-3 meters (1 mm) in diameter • Therefore, more than 1,000,000 atoms can fit across a pinhead!

  24. ~3 x 10-10 meters in diameter (~300 x 10-12 meter)

  25. ~3 x 10-10 meter • The nucleus is about 1/100,000 of the diameter.

  26. Back to the Pinheads • What if the nucleus had a diameter of a pinhead (1 mm)?

  27. Back to the Pinheads • What if the nucleus had a diameter of a pinhead (1 mm)? How big would the atom be?

  28. Back to the Pinheads • What if the nucleus had a diameter of a pinhead (1 mm)? How big would the atom be? 10 meters!

  29. If the nucleus were 10 cm in diameter, then… the edge of the atom would be 1,000,000 cm or 10,000 meters or 6 miles away! 10 cm

  30. If the nucleus were 10 cm in diameter, then… the edge of the atom would be 1,000,000 cm or 10,000 meters or 6 miles away! 10 cm SO, what would you see if you were on the nucleus?

  31. A whole lot of empty space…

  32. What is in an atom?

  33. Charge Location Mass

  34. Where is the mass located? Charge Location Mass

  35. Charge Location Mass What gives an atom its volume?

  36. Back to Radon… Atomic Number (protons), Z

  37. X A Z How else can we write this? X = Element Symbol from periodic table A = Mass number (protons + neutrons) Z = Number of Protons

  38. X A Z How else can we write this? Try this for radon-222! X = Element Symbol from periodic table A = Mass number (protons + neutrons) Z = Number of Protons

  39. 222 86 Rn radon-222

  40. For the quiz… • Calculators are OK. Cannot use any calculators with memory!

  41. Quiz Cont… • Please sit ONLY in the ‘dark’ colored seats!

  42. Back to the Atom…

  43. 222 86 Rn radon-222 Is this needed?
