Because they have similar outer orbitals. The outer orbitals determine the chemical bonding characteristics, therefore elements with similar valence orbital structure will have similar chemical properties. Chapter 9 ll have one valence electron. 1 Modern understanding: the ``onion picture Modern understanding: the ``onion picture tom Nucleus Let s see what s inside! Let s see what s inside! 3 4 1
2 Modern understanding: the ``onion picture Protons and neutrons Let s see what s inside! Next chapter Introduction: Development of Nuclear Physics 1896 the birth of nuclear physics Becquerel discovered radioactivity in uranium compounds Rutherford showed the radiation had three types lpha (He nucleus) Beta (electrons) Gamma (high-energy photons) 1911 Rutherford, Geiger and Marsden performed scattering experiments Established the point mass nature of the nucleus Nuclear force was a new type of force 1919 Rutherford and coworkers first observed nuclear reactions in which naturally occurring alpha particles bombarded nitrogen nuclei to produce oxygen 193 Cockcroft and Walton first used artificially accelerated protons s to produce nuclear reactions 193 Chadwick discovered the neutron 1933 the Curies discovered artificial radioactivity 1938 Hahn and Strassman discovered nuclear fission 194 Fermi achieved the first controlled nuclear fission reactor Some Properties of Nuclei Charge and mass ll nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons Exception is ordinary hydrogen with just a proton The atomic number, Z,, equals the number of protons in the nucleus The neutron number, N,, is the number of neutrons in the nucleus The mass number,,, is the number of nucleons in the nucleus = Z + N Nucleon is a generic term used to refer to either a proton or a neutron The mass number is not the same as the mass Notation Example: Mass number is 7 tomic number is 13 Contains 13 protons Contains 14 (7 13) neutrons The Z may be omitted since the element can be used to determine Z Z X 7 13 l where X is the chemical symbol of the element 7 Charge: The electron has a single negative charge, -e ( The proton has a single positive charge, +e Thus, charge of a nucleus is equal to Ze The neutron has no charge Makes it difficult to detect e (e e = x Mass: It is convenient to use atomic mass units, u, to express masses 1 u = x 10-7 kg Based on definition that the mass of one atom of C-1 C is exactly 1 u Mass can also be expressed in MeV/c From E R = m c 1 u = MeV/c 19 C) 8
3 Summary of Masses Quick problem: protons in your body Particle kg Masses u MeV/c What is the order of magnitude of the number of protons in your body? Of the number of neutrons? Of the number of electrons? Take your mass approximately equal to 70 kg (154 lbs). Proton Neutron Electron x x x x n iron nucleus (in hemoglobin) has a few more neutrons than protons, but in a typical water molecule there are eight neutrons and ten protons. So protons and neutrons are nearly equally numerous in your body, each contributing 35 kg out of a total body mass of 70 kg. 1nucleon N = kg 8 35kg 10 protons 7 Same amount of neutrons and electrons The Size of the Nucleus Size of Nucleus First investigated by Rutherford in scattering experiments He found an expression for how close an alpha particle moving toward the nucleus can come before being turned around by the Coulomb force The KE of the particle must be completely converted to PE qq 1 e e ( e)( Ze) 1 mv k k = r = d or d = 4 e kze mv Since the time of Rutherford, many other experiments have concluded the following Most nuclei are approximately spherical verage radius is 3 1 r = r o r o = 1. x m For gold: d = 3. x m, for silver: d = x m Such small lengths are often expressed in femtometers where 1 fm = m (also called a fermi)
4 Density of Nuclei The volume of the nucleus (assumed to be spherical) is directly proportional to the total number of nucleons This suggests that all nuclei have nearly the same density Nucleons combine to form a nucleus as though they were tightly packed spheres Nuclear Stability There are very large repulsive electrostatic forces between protons These forces should cause the nucleus to fly apart The nuclei are stable because of the presence of another, short- range force, called the nuclear (or strong) force This is an attractive force that acts between all nuclear particles The nuclear attractive force is stronger than the Coulomb repulsive force at the short ranges within the nucleus Nuclear Stability chart Isotopes Light nuclei are most stable if N = Z Heavy nuclei are most stable when N > Z s the number of protons increase, the Coulomb force increases and so more nucleons are needed to keep the nucleus stable No nuclei are stable when Z > 83 (the metal Bismuth) The nuclei of all atoms of a particular element must contain the same number of protons They may contain varying numbers of neutrons Isotopes of an element have the same Z but differing N and values Example: C C C 6 6 6C 6 ll have the same number of protons: Z=
5 9. Binding Energy The total energy of the bound system (the nucleus) is less than the combined energy of the separated nucleons This difference in energy is called the binding energy of the nucleus It can be thought of as the amount of energy you need to add to the nucleus to break it apart into separated protons and neutrons Problem: binding energy Calculate the average binding energy per nucleon of Nb Binding Energy per Nucleon Calculate the average binding energy per nucleon of 93 Nb 41 Binding Energy Notes Given: m p = u m n = u Find: E b =? In order to compute binding energy, let s first find the mass difference between the total mass of all protons and neutrons in Nb and subtract mass of the Nb: Number of protons: Number of neutrons: Mass difference: Δ m= 41m + 5m m p n Nb N p = 41 N = = 5 Thus, binding energy is (per nucleon or nuclear particle) ( Δmc ) ( u)( MeVu) n ( u) ( u) ( u) = = u Eb = = = 8.66 MeV nucleon Except for light nuclei, the binding energy is about 8 MeV per nucleon The curve peaks in the vicinity of = 60 Nuclei with mass numbers greater than or less than 60 are not as strongly bound as those near the middle of the periodic table The curve is slowly varying at > 40 This suggests that the nuclear force saturates particular nucleon can interact with only a limited number of other nucleons 0 5
6 9.3 Radioactivity Distinguishing Types of Radiation Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of radiation Experiments suggested that radioactivity was the result of the decay, or disintegration, of unstable nuclei Three types of radiation can be emitted lpha particles The particles are 4 He nuclei ( neutrons and protons) Beta particles The particles are either electrons or positrons positron is the antiparticle of the electron It is similar to the electron except its charge is +e Gamma rays The rays are high energy photons The gamma particles carry no charge The alpha particles are deflected upward The beta particles are deflected downward positron would be deflected upward 1 Penetrating bility of Particles The Decay Constant lpha particles Barely penetrate a piece of paper Beta particles Can penetrate a few mm of aluminum Gamma rays Can penetrate several cm of lead The number of particles that decay in a given time is proportional to the total number of particles in a radioactive sample ( ) Δ N = λn Δt λ is called the decay constant and determines the rate at which the material will decay The decay rate or activity,, R, of a sample is defined as the number of decays per second ΔN R = = λn Δt 3 4 6
7 Decay Curve Units The decay curve follows the equation N = N e λt The half-life life is also a useful parameter The half-life life is defined as the time it takes for half of any given number of radioactive nuclei to decay 0 The unit of activity,, R, is the Curie, Ci 1 Ci = 3.7 x decays/second The SI unit of activity is the Becquerel, Bq 1 Bq = 1 decay / second Therefore, 1 Ci = 3.7 x Bq The most commonly used units of activity are the mci and the µci T 1 ln = = λ λ 5 6 QUICK QUIZ 9.4 The Decay Processes General Rules What fraction of a radioactive sample has decayed after two halflives have elapsed? (a) 1/4 (b) 1/ (c) 3/4 (d) not enough information to say (c). t the end of the first half-life interval, half of the original sample has decayed and half remains. During the second half-life interval, half of the remaining portion of the sample decays. The total fraction of the sample that has decayed during the two half-lives is: = 4 When one element changes into another element, the process is called spontaneous decay or transmutation The sum of the mass numbers,,, must be the same on both sides of the equation The sum of the atomic numbers, Z,, must be the same on both sides of the equation Conservation of mass-energy and conservation of momentum must hold 7 8 7
8 lpha Decay lpha Decay -- Example When a nucleus emits an alpha particle it loses two protons and two neutrons N decreases by Z decreases by decreases by 4 Symbolically 4 Z X Z Y+ 4 He X is called the parent nucleus Y is called the daughter nucleus Decay of 6 Ra 88 Ra 86Rn+ 6 4 He Half life for this decay is 1600 years Excess mass is converted into kinetic energy Momentum of the two particles is equal and opposite 9 30 QUICK QUIZ Beta Decay If a nucleus such as 6 Ra that is initially at rest undergoes alpha decay, which of the following statements is true? (a) The alpha particle has more kinetic energy than the daughter nucleus. (b) The daughter nucleus has more kinetic energy than the alpha particle. (c) The daughter nucleus and the alpha particle have the same kinetic energy. (a). Conservation of momentum requires the momenta of the two fragments be equal in magnitude and oppositely directed. Thus, from KE = p /m, the lighter alpha particle has more kinetic energy that the more massive daughter nucleus. During beta decay, the daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the parent, but the atomic number changes by +1 or -1 In addition, an electron (positron) was observed The emission of the electron is from the nucleus The nucleus contains protons and neutrons The process occurs when a neutron is transformed into a proton and an electron Energy must be conserved
9 Beta Decay Electron Energy Beta Decay The energy released in the decay process should almost all go to kinetic energy of the electron Experiments showed that few electrons had this amount of kinetic energy To account for this missing energy, in 1930 Pauli proposed the existence of another particle Enrico Fermi later named this particle the neutrino Properties of the neutrino Zero electrical charge Mass much smaller than the electron, but not zero Spin of ½ Very weak interaction with matter Symbolically Z Z X X Z+ 1 Z 1 Y + e Y + e + ν + ν ν is the symbol for the neutrino ν is the symbol for the antineutrino + To summarize, in beta decay, the following pairs of particles are emitted n electron and an antineutrino positron and a neutrino Gamma Decay Gamma rays are given off when an excited nucleus falls to a lower energy state Similar to the process of electron jumps to lower energy states and giving off photons The excited nuclear states result from jumps made by a proton or neutron The excited nuclear states may be the result of violent collision n or more likely of an alpha or beta emission Example of a decay sequence The first decay is a beta emission The second step is a gamma emission 1 5 B 1 6 C* C * + e C + γ + ν The C* indicates the Carbon nucleus is in an excited state Gamma emission doesn t t change either or Z Uses of Radioactivity Carbon Dating Beta decay of 14 C is used to date organic samples The ratio of 14 C to 1 C is used Smoke detectors Ionization type smoke detectors use a radioactive source to ionize the air in a chamber voltage and current are maintained When smoke enters the chamber, the current is decreased and the alarm sounds Radon pollution Radon is an inert, gaseous element associated with the decay of radium It is present in uranium mines and in certain types of rocks, bricks, etc that may be used in home building May also come from the ground itself
