Describe Nonionizing Radiation

low energy, atoms vibrate, excessive exposure can be dangerous

What type of energy? What do the atoms do? Effects of excessive exposure can be...?

Describe Ionizing Radation

energy, alpha-beta-gamma radiation, can ionize molecules, makes them highly reactive, dangerous to living cells/tissue

What type of energy? What do the atoms do? Effects of excessive exposure can be...?

Define Radioactive Decay

the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus

Radioactive


Release energy

Define Alpha Decay (what changes? what causes? what is overcome?)

caused when z>82, electromagnetic force overcomes strong force


the ID, Mass, and stability changes

Alpha Decay


Alpha = Strong


Strong force is overcome by....

Define Beta Decay (what changes? what causes? what is overcome?)

Turns a neutron into a proton by spitting out a Beta particle, caused when n:p ratio is too high, overcomes weak interaction, stability and ID changes

If alpha includes strong force,


then beta decay overcomes weak interaction

Define Gamma Decay

Energy


Gamma ray = radiation = energy

Define Half-life

time required for the amount of a substance undergoing decay to decrease by one half

10 -> 5 -> 2.5 -> etc.

What did Aristotle believe? What did he deny? How long was he unchallenged?

Believed that matter is made of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Denied existence of atoms. Believed that empty space didn’t exist. He was unchallenged for nearly 2,000 years

Aristotle -> Chipotle -> Chipotle has tacos which have lettuce which means Earth -> 4 Elements

What did Dalton propose? What does this theory say?

Proposed Atomic Theory:


all matter is made of atoms.

Dalton


Atomic

What model did Thompson create? What did he discover? What did he determine?

Plum Pudding model. Discovered atom is a uniform, positively charged sphere containing electrons. Determined the ratio of the mass of an electron to its electric charge.

Thompson


Thumpson


Plumpson

What did Democritus propose? Who was he unsupported by?

Proposed that all atoms are small, hard, indivisible and indestructible particles made of a single material.


Unsupported by Aristotle.

Democritus? It's a Democrisus people didn't believe his atom theory.


S H I I

What experiment did Millikan complete? What did this determine?

Oil drop experiment. Determined charge of electron.

Millikan


Milkan


Milk doesn't mix well with oil

What was Rutherford's experiment? What did it determine?

Gold Foil experiment which determined the properties of the nucleus, including charge, relative size, density.

Rutherford


Rutherfold


Ruthergold

What did Bohr create?

Created most accurate atomic model, it included electrons and neutrons.

Bohr is accurate

What did Schrodinger create?

electron cloud model

Electron _____ _______

What do the A, Z and X represent in isotope notation?

A is the mass #


Z is the atomic number


X is the element sumbol

X in the center, Z in the bottom corner, A in the top corner

How do you calculate average atomic mass?

(mass of isotope x relative abundance) + (mass of isotope x relative abundance)

Move the decimal over 2 times for the percentage, or relative abundance

Define Strong Nuclear Force

Holds nucleus together

Strong things hold ___ together

Define Electromagnetic Force

Opposite forces attract, like forces repl

Two of the same magnets do not attract

Define Weak Nuclear Force

Hold neutron together

Strong force can hold the nucleus, weak force can only hold a part of the nucleus, the _________.
