Name: ______________________________________________ Nuclear Energy Environmental Science G1 Atoms and Radioactivity: Atoms – all common matter is made up of ______________ Three parts to an atom: _________________, _____________________, and _____________________ • _______________ and _________________ occur together in the ________________ of the atom • Middle is called the ____________________ • Nearly all the _____________ of an atom is in the nucleus • Nucleus is orbited by the __________________ of the atom • Atoms that are electrically _______________ contain the ________ number of protons and electrons Atoms: The basic ______________________ of an atom are determined by the number of ________________ in its nucleus • All atoms of the same _______________ have the __________ number of protons in their nuclei • The number of protons in an atom is called the ___________ ________________ of the element • Oxygen has 8 protons: atomic number is ______ • Uranium has 92 protons: atomic number is ________ The atoms of most elements have ___________________ as well as protons and electrons • The number of protons _____________ the number of neutrons in an atom is referred to as the ____________ number • Electrons are _________ counted in determining mass • Because electrons have so ______________ mass as compared to protons and neutrons Periodic Table: See Attached Table Examples Atomic ________________: number of ______________ A. _____________ of the element Atomic __________: number of protons ________ neutrons How many protons does carbon have? ____ How many neutrons does carbon have? _____ B. Which element has 30 protons? __________ How many neutrons does it have? _______ C. Which element has 47 protons? _________ How many neutrons does it have? ______ Isotopes: Atoms of the same element that have __________________ numbers of _______________ • Individual atoms of the same ______________ may have different __________ numbers • Because the number of _______________ in the nucleus can __________ • Always have the same number of _______________ • Example: ________ oxygen atoms have 8 protons • ___________ oxygen atoms have ___ neutrons • However, some oxygen atoms may have ____ or ______ neutrons • These oxygen atoms are _________________ • They have the same atomic _________________ • They have different atomic ___________________ Atomic Number: Atomic Mass: Atomic Number: Atomic Mass: Nuclear Energy G1 Radioactivity: Some isotopes of atoms are _______________ Unstable atoms _____________, emitting particles and ______________ from their nuclei • Atoms that decay in this way are called ___________________ atoms • In most cases, only ______________ isotopes of an element are radioactive • Example: Common isotopes of ___________________ • H-1 __________ radioactive, H-2 __________ radioactive, H-3 __________ radioactive • After a ______________ of decay changes, a radioactive element becomes _____________ and stops decaying Radiation: the __________________ or ________________ given off as an atom decays There are _________ kinds of ________________ given off by the nuclei of radioactive atoms • Alpha Particles (α) – made up of two ________________ and two ________________ • • • • Beta Particles (β) – release of a high speed ________________ • Beta decay converts a ________________________________________________ When atoms emit alpha or beta particles, it _____________ the number of ________________ which changes the atomic _________________ It also changes the atomic ____________ of the atoms Since the atomic _______________ of an atom determines the _______________ of the element, the decay process changes one element into ________________ ________________ The third type of radiation is when ____________ in the form of ____________________ is given off • Gamma rays are a form of ______________________________ radiation Half-Life: The amount of time it takes for __________ of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is called the isotope's ___________________ • Half-lives for various radioactive elements range from a few _______________ to ____________ of years • Two radioactive isotopes of ____________________ are U-238 (over 99 percent of all uranium found in nature) and U-235 • Both ultimately decay into ____________ forms of ____________ • But the _____________ takes a ____________ time • U-238 half-life is about 4.5 _______________ years • U-235 half-life is about 700 _________________ years Section Review 1.
