PS-2.2 Illustrate the fact that the atoms of elements exist as stable or unstable isotopes. Opener- Write the chart & fill it in Protons Symbol Mass (heavy/light) Location Charge Does it affect ID? Does it affect mass? Does it affect volume Neutrons Electrons Opener •Study st 1 15 elements •Turn in hw ½ sheet into the front basket Opener 1/23/07 * atomic number – found on the periodic table, = # p+, identifies the atom * mass number - # protons + # neutrons * atomic mass - weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element. Opener 1/23/07 * Isotope – atoms of the same element with the same # p, different # neutrons * nuclear decay - a nuclear reaction that involves emission of energy or particles from the nucleus, resulting in a more stable nuclear environment * radiation - describe the particles and/or energy that are emitted during nuclear decay. (Alpha, and beta particles, and gamma rays) Atomic Number • equal to the number of protons, always the same for a given element • found on the periodic table • since it is the same for all atoms of that element, it is always a whole number. 47 Ag Silver Atomic 107.87 number Atomic number Mass Number • atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons • the sum of that atom’s protons and neutrons • can only be found on the periodic table for stable atoms, cannot be found on the periodic table for an isotope Atomic Mass • the weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element • found on the periodic table • it is an average, so usually not a whole number 17 Ag Silver 107.87 Atomic mass Atomic Mass Isotopes • two or more atoms of the same element having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons (and therefore different masses) • different numbers of neutrons, so they have different mass numbers • Brittany Isotopes Carbon-14 • Atomic # 6 • Atomic Mass 14….. • Mass # 14 • # protons 6 • # neutrons 8 • # electrons 6 Carbon-16 • • • • • • Atomic # 6 Atomic Mass Mass # # protons # neutrons # electrons 16….. 16 6 10 6 Isotope Notation (mass #) 12 (Atomic #) 6 (Symbol) C (Symbol) C - 12 (Mass #) Unstable isotopes • In order for a nucleus to be stable, there must be enough neutrons present to block the repulsive forces among the protons • An unstable isotope of an element is radioactive (gives off radiation) Due to the unstable condition of the nucleus, radioactive isotopes undergo nuclear decay – Nuclear decay is a nuclear reaction that involves emission of energy or particles from the nucleus, resulting in a more stable nuclear environment – Nuclear decay occurs naturally in many elements that are common on earth and there is always some radiation present in every environment – Radiation is the term used to describe the particles and/or energy that are emitted during nuclear decay (Alpha, and beta particles, and gamma rays) Review What is defined as the sum of the p+ and the n0 ???? Review What defines the element?? Review What is the weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element??? Review An isotope is two atoms of the same element with the same # of ___ but a different # of _____ ???? Review What are the two ways that we could write isotopic notation for the isotope Carbon - 18 ???? Review In order for a nucleus to be stable, there must be enough ___ present to block the repulsive forces of the _____ ???? Review What is nuclear decay ???? Review What are the particles or energy emitted during nuclear decay called???? Review What determines if an isotope will be stable or unstable?????
