Page 2: Radioactive Decay Half Life. What’s In An Atom? Electrons: Orbit around the nucleus. Negative charge. Nucleus: Has protons of positive charge and neutrons

What’s In An Atom?Electrons: Orbit around the nucleus. Negative charge.

Nucleus: Has protons of positive charge and neutrons of no charge.

A neutron is a proton and an electron stuck together. Net charge is 0.

Neutrons

• The force holding the proton and electron together in a neutron is relatively weak.

• Sometimes a neutron will break apart, and the proton will be shot out of the nucleus by the repelling force of the other protons.

• Neutron Proton + Electron

Neutrons• Since these protons are so close to the

nucleus when they are “set free”, they leave the atom with incredible velocity.

• This is one kind of radiation. • When atoms shoot out these protons, they

loose some of their mass (since the protons leaving have mass).

Half Life

• Def: The amount of time it takes a sample of radioactive material to lose half its mass due to radiation.

Half Life

• Image a 10 kg sample of radioactive “stuff” with a half life of 5 seconds.

Example

• A 1.0 kg sample of U-238 (Naturally occurring Uranium) has a half life of 1.41 X 1017 s, or about 4.4 billion years. How much will remain after 3 half lives? How long will that take?
