1 Nuclear Chemistry Notes Definitions Nucleons: Subatomic particles in the nucleus : protons and neutrons Radionuclides: Radioactive nuclei. Unstable nuclei that spontaneously emit particles and electromagnetic radiation. Radioisotopes: Atoms containing radioactive nuclei. Half-Life: the length of time required for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive sample to decay. (Number of atoms left) = (( ) n ) * (original # of atoms) n = the number of half lives elapsed. Fission: break up of a large nucleus into two smaller nuclei creating a higher binding energy. Fusion: two or more smaller nuclei combining to form a larger nucleus with a higher binding energy. Synthetic Elements: made by bombarding plutonium with neutrons or other large elements with smaller elements. Nuclear Equations 1. Mass number is conserved in a nuclear change. 2. Electric charge is conserved in a nuclear change. Example of nuclear reaction: Es He 101Md n Types of nuclear reactions: Alpha Decay U 2He Th Decay: Beta Emission (Beta-minus) Ra -1e Ac Decay: Positron Emission Ru 1e Tc K-Capture (capture beta-minus) 83 37Rb e 36Kr + X-ray + X-ray
2 Types of Radioactive Decay When unstable nuclei decay, the reactions they undergo generally involve one or more of the following particles listed in the first column. Some facts about these particles may be found in the next 5 columns. In the 7th column you will find an example of each type of decay. Notice that for an alpha particle decay, the equation is balanced with regard to atomic number (92, 90+2) and atomic weight (238, 234+4). This type of balancing is true for all nuclear reactions. In the last column are instructions for how to predict when each type of emission or capture will occur. Fore example, if the atomic number is greater than 83, alpha particle decay is most likely. particle alpha particles beta particles gamma Rays positron emission electron capture What is it? helium nuclei high speed electrons symbol charge mass 2He or 2 α 4 E-24 g -1e o or β o E-28 g relative penetrating power Example Applies to which particles 1 92U 238 => 90 Th He 4 Atomic Numbers > 83; the 2 p + 2n 0 loss brings the atom diagonally back to the belt of stability I 131 => 54 Xe e o Isotopes below the belt of stability (high neutron : proton ratios).

Isotopes above the belt of stability (low neutron : proton ratios). Causes a loss of 1 proton and a gain of 1 neutron. Isotopes above the belt of stability (low neutron : proton ratios). Causes a loss of 1 proton and a gain of 1 neutron.
3 :Stable n:p ratios: Neutrons are needed to hold protons together in the nucleus by the strong force. At low atomic numbers, the ratio of neutrons to protons in stable isotopes is generally very close to 1. As the atomic number rises, so does the neutron/proton ratio, such that at atomic number 80, stable isotopes have a ratio of about 1.5. This information is tabulated below. atomic number ratio n/p for stable isotopes Predict the type of decay of the isotope 92 U 238 explanation emission preliminary equation balancing to solve for X z > 83 alpha 92U 238 => X + 2 He 4 92U 238 => 90 Th He 4 Stable nuclear configurations: Some configurations of protons and neutrons are particularly stable just as some configurations of electrons (2, 10, 18, 36, 54, 86) are. proton numbers: 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 neutron number: 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 nuclei with even numbers of protons and neutrons are more stable than those with odd numbers. Nuclear Transmutations: occur when nuclei are struck by neutrons or other nuclei. These reactions are useful in creating new radioisotopes. Notation: The reaction in which N-14 is bombarded with an alpha particle: 7 N He 4 => 8 O H 1 is written as 7N 14 (a, p) 8 O 17 in the following order: target nucleus, (bombarding particle, ejected particle), product nucleus. Rates: Half life is the time required for half of the radioisotope to react. Dating: Carbon-14 has been used to determine the age of organic materials. In the upper atmosphere, 7 N 14 captures a neutron to form 6 C 14 7N n 1 => 6 C p 1 which supplies a constant source of C-14. However 6 C 14 is radioactive and decays back to 7 N 14 with a half life of 5730 years. 6C 14 => 7 N e o We assume that the ratio of C-14 to C-12 in the atmosphere has been constant for at least years. So long as an organism is living, the CO 2 cycle keeps renewing the supply of C-14 keeping the ratio of C-14 to C-12 constant. Upon death, the organism does not replenish its supply of C-14 while existing C-14 decomposes with a half life of 5730 years. The smaller the fraction of C-14 in the organism, the longer ago that organism died. For example, if the organism has half the amount of C-14 that is present in the atmosphere, the organism probably died 5730 years ago.
4 Mass Defect: It is experimentally observed that the mass of an atom (containing neutrons) is always slightly less than the sum of the masses of its component particles. The difference between the atomic mass and the sum of the masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons is called the mass defect. isotope Should weigh: Do weigh: Mass Defect: Hydrogen = none Deuterium = Tritium (1.0087) = The loss in mass is accounted for by Einstein's E = mc 2, which describes conversions between matter (m) and energy (E). When the nucleus is being formed, some matter was converted into energy (called nuclear binding energy). Energy changes in nuclear reactions Given the nuclear reaction: 92 U 238 => 90 Th He 4, and given the masses of the three atoms ( amu, amu, amu) calculate the mass and energy change per mole associated with this reaction.
