Define and make clear distinctions between the terms neutron, nucleon, nucleus, and nuclide.
What are isotopes? Why do isotopes of the same atom share the same chemical properties?
2H is a loosely hound isotope of hydrogen. Called deuterium or heavy hydrogen, it is stable but relatively rareit is 0.015% of natural hydrogen. Note that deuterium has Z = N, which should tend to make it more tightly bound, but both are odd numbers. Calculate BE/A, the binding energy per nucleon, for 2H and compare it with the approximate value obtained from line graph in Figure 31.27.
When a nucleus (decays, does the (particle move continuously from inside the nucleus to outside? That is, does it travel each point along an imaginary line from inside to out? Explain.
Integrated Concepts Estimate the density of a nucleus by calculating the density of a proton, taking it to be a sphere 1.2 fm in diameter. Compare your result with the value estimated in this chapter.
Why is the number of neutrons greater than the number of protons in stable nuclei that have an A greater than about 40? Why is this effect more pronounced for the heaviest nuclei?
A radioactive sample initially contains 2.40102 mol of a radioactive material whose half-life is 6.00 h. How many moles of the radioactive material remain after 6.00 h? After 12.0 h? After 36.0 h?
One of the methods used to limit radiation dose to the patient in medical imaging is to employ isotopes with short halflives. How would this limit the dose?
Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.00 g of the tree’s carbon drops to 1.00 decay per hour?
Check Your Understanding Nucleus X is two times larger than nucleus Y. What is the ratio of their atomic masses?
Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. 53. You can sometimes find deep red crystal vases in antique stores, called uranium glass because their color was produced by doping the glass with uranium. Look up the natural isotopes of uranium and their halflives, and calculate the activity of such a vase assuming it has 2.00 g of uranium in it. Neglect the activity of any daughter nuclides.
Which methods of radiation protection were used in the device shown in the first photo in Figure 32.35? Which were used in the situation shown in the second photo? (a) (b) Figure 32.35 (a) This xray fluorescence machine is one of the thousands used in shoe stores to produce images offset as a check on the fit of shoes. They are unshielded and remain on as long as the test are in them, producing doses much greater titan medical images. Children were fascinated with them. These machines were used in shoe stores until laws preventing such unwarranted radiation exposure were enacted in the 1950s (credit: Andrew Kuchling ) (b) New that we know the effects of exposure to radioactive material, eatery is a priority.
