• The smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical identity • composed of three main parts. Proton: •Positively charged •Found in the nucleus •Atomic number (z) = protons Electrons: Neutron: •Neutral (no charge) •Found in the nucleus •Atomic mass – atomic number = neutrons. Protons and neutrons give the atom its mass. Particle Proton Neutron Electron Charge (C) +1.602x10-19 0 -1. 602x10-19 •Negatively charged •Exist in electron cloud •Number of electrons = number of protons. (in a neutral atom) Electron Cloud gives the atom its volume.

(The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom) 19 K 39.098 Potassium The atomic number is the smallest of the two numbers seen in each box on the periodic table. The mass number describes the average mass of the element isotopes. 19 K 39.098 Potassium The mass number (m) is the largest number in each box on the periodic table. The mass number – the atomic number is equal to the number of neutrons in an atom. m – z = neutrons •Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. •Isotopes of an element exhibit identical chemical behavior. •This is why H-1 and H-2 both bond with oxygen to form water. •Carbon-14 and carbon-12 bond with oxygen to form CO2 Isotope symbols Carbon-12, C-12 or P N E Hydrogen Hydrogen’s 3 isotopes Deuterium Tritium 2 1H 1 1H H-1 12 C 6 H-2 3 1H H-3 Ions: electrically charged atoms. o Atoms that gain electrons are negatively charged Nonmetals gain electrons o Atoms that lose electrons are positively charged Metals lose electrons Potassium 19 protons 19 electrons 20 neutrons (m – z: 39 – 19) If potassium loses an electron: Potassium: + 19 protons (+ charges) - 18 electrons (- charges) +1 overall charge of the potassium ion (also called the oxidation number or state) Ion representations Cs+1 Cs+ 133 +1 Cs 55 All three of these indicate that cesium has given 1 electron away. Isoelectric: Indicates the number of electrons in an ion matches the number of electrons in the noble gas it wants to become to increase stability. So what Noble Gas is Cs+1 isoelectric with?

What is the chemical symbol for the ion with 15 protons and 18 electrons? Atomic Mass Scientist’s chose to define an atomic mass unit in terms of an arbitrary standard—a carbon-12 atom. This means that 1 atomic mass unit is 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. 1 amu = 1/12 (mass of C-12 atom) = 1.673 x 10-24 g Isotopes of Three Common Elements Element Symbol Mass Mass (amu) Number Carbon C-12 C-13 12 13 12 13.003 98.89% 1.11% 12.01 Chlorine Cl-35 Cl-37 35 37 34.969 36.966 75.53% 24.47% 35.45 Si-28 Si-29 Si-30 28 29 30 27.977 28.976 29.974 92.21% 4.70% 3.09% Silicon % Average abundance Atomic mass 28.09 How did you get the value for the Mass? Get the mass of the isotope and multiply it by the % abundance. For example: To determine the actual mass, as seen of the periodic table, for Chlorine: 1) Determine the mass in amu of each isotope and then find the total mass by adding up the masses of each isotope. 35 17 37 17 Cl 75.53% (35)(0.7553) = 26.4355 Cl 24.47% (37)(0.2447) = 9.0539 35.4894 amu or g Look at the mass on the periodic table… Do you think there are really more isotopes of Chlorine? Compute the average atomic mass for silicon Silicon Si-28 92.21% abundant Si-29 4.70% abundant Si-30 3.09% abundant Radioactive Decay When atoms emit alpha, beta or gamma radiation, it is undergoing a radioactive decay. Decay occurs due to instability within the nucleus. As the ratio of protons to neutrons becomes more skewed, the nucleus becomes more unstable. All isotopes with an atomic number greater than 83 are unstable. Nuclear equation: an equation that keeps track of the reaction’s components. Left side of equation has parent nuclide. Arrow means “yield” Right side of equation has daughter nuclide and radiation particle Changes in the Nucleus In Chemical reactions, atoms interact only through their outer electrons while their nuclei remain unchanged. Nuclear reactions change an atom’s nucleus while the electrons remain unchanged. Nuclear reactions produce three kinds of radiation alpha radiation Beta radiation, gamma radiation. 4 2 0 -1 a+2 b g Alpha (a )Radiation-Emission 1. Alpha radiation consists of rapidly moving helium nucleus. a. A helium nucleus consists of 2 protons and 2-neutrons. b. A lpha radiation is represented by the following forms: 4 2 He+2 4He+2 4 a+2 There are others, but you get the drift!! 2. Alpha particles travel at about one-tenth the speed of light. 3. A thin sheet of paper or clothing can stop alpha particles. It will not penetrate the skin on your body. 4. In alpha emission, the parent nuclide decays into a daughter nuclide by emitting an alpha particle. 230 90 Th 4 2 a+2 + 226 88 Ra **During alpha decay the emission results in two less protons. ** Also notice there is a change in mass; it decreases by 4. Beta (b- )Radiation-Emission 1. Electrons or positrons are emitted from the nucleus at a very high speed, often approaching the speed of light ; thus < 3.00x108 m/s a) A positron is a positively charged particle the same size as an electron. 2. Very high kinetic energy associated with beta or positron particle release. 3. Beta radiation is stopped by a few millimeters of aluminum. It will penetrate the outside of your body only 1-5 mm. It will do more damage to the inside of your body a. Beta radiation is represented by the following forms: 0 -1 e 0e 0b-1 There are others, but you get the drift!! 4. The nuclear equation to represent the radioactive decay neon-23 by b- emission is: 23 10 Ne 0 -1 b + 23 Na 11 **During the decay of Neon, the emission results in the conversion of a neutron to a proton. ** Also notice there is no change in mass. 5. Nuclide that decay by beta emission have too many neutrons in the nucleus for the number of protons present. Gamma (g )Radiation-Emission 1. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation similar to, but more energetic than,X-rays. 2. Gamma radiation is a pure energy form and the most dangerous of the three radiation types. 3. Gamma radiation penetrates the farthest; several centimeters of lead, or an even greater thickness of concrete. It will travel right through our bodies and thus has the potential to do much damage. 4. Gamma radiation can be emitted along with alpha radiation and/or along with beta radiation. a. Gamma radiation is represented by: 0 g , Write an equation for the alpha decay of uranium-238 Write the equation for the beta decay of sodium-24.
