Stable and Unstable Nuclei
• Unstable nuclei spontaneously decay giving off rays and particles
• Stability of nucleus depends on neutron to proton ratio
• For elements with low atomic number (1-20)– Neutron/proton=1– Nucleus of isotope is stable
• For elements with high atomic number (82-83)– Neutron/proton = about 1.5– Stable isotope

Stable and Unstable Nuclei
Protons in the nucleus repel each other because of like charges. The binding energy holds the nucleus together.
Stable atoms have a strong binding energy Atoms with unstable nuclei have an imbalance
of energy in the nucleus Unstable atoms are constantly changing to
become more stable

Transmutation
• In (natural) transmutation, the nucleus spontaneously decays into a new element.
• In artificial transmutation, the nucleus is first bombarded with high energy particles, then decays and changes into a new element.

Question
![Page 7: Aim: What is the half-life of a radioisotope Do Now:](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d825503460f94a6841c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Half-Life
• Every radioisotope has a rate of decay.• Half-life is the time it takes for half of the
sample to decay into new elements.

Half-Life
• Table N lists half-life, decay mode (particles emitted during decay), nuclide (radioisotope, and name of nuclide.
• The half-life of Ra-226 is 1600 years; meaning, in 1600 years half of Ra-226 will decay, and in another 1600 years half of what was remaining will decay.
• After 3200 years, how many half-lives has Ra-226 gone through?
