  11. Terms and decay modes: Utilization of chart of the nuclides • Identify the isomer, isobars, isotones, and isotopes • 60mCo, 57Co, 97Nb, 58Co, 57Ni, 57Fe, 59Ni, 99mTc • Identify the daughter from the decay of the following isotopes • 210Po • 196Pb • 204Bi • 209Pb • 222At • 212Bi • 208Pb • How is 14C naturally produced • Identify 5 naturally occurring radionuclides with Z<84

  12. X-rays • Electron from a lower level is removed • electrons of the higher levels can come to occupy resulting vacancy • energy is returned to the external medium as electromagnetic radiation • radiation called an X-ray • discovered by Roentgen in 1895 • In studying x-rays radiation emitted by uranium ores Becquerel et. al. (P. and M. Curie) discovered radioactivity in 1896

  13. X-rays • Removal of K shell electrons • Electrons coming from the higher levels will emit photons while falling to this K shell • series of rays (frequency n or wavelength l) are noted as Ka, Kb, Kg • If the removed electrons are from the L shell, noted as La, Lb, Lg • In 1913 Moseley studied these frequencies n, showing that: • where Z is the atomic number and, A and Z0 are constants depending on the observed transition. • K series, Z0 = 1, L series, Z0 = 7.4.
