0.125 g

nucleus

the center of an atom, containing the protons and neutrons

Neon-20 has 10 protons. How many electrons and neutrons does it have, respectively?

10, 10

The element sodium is made up of all atoms with 11 protons. How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are in a sodium-23 atom, respectively?

11, 11, 12

Mg-24 has 12 protons. How many electrons and neutrons does it have, respectively?

12, 12

Two atoms are isotopes. The first has 18 protons and 20 neutrons. The second has 22 neutrons. How many protons does the second atom have?

18

The half-life of the radioactive decay of Ra-226 is 1600 years, If a sample of Ra-226 originally had a mass of 10 grams, how many grams of Ra-226 would be left after 3,200 years?

2.5 g

How much more massive are protons than electrons?

2000 times

Fe-56 has 26 protons. How many electrons and neutrons does it have, respectively?

26, 30

Carbon dating is really only reliable for things ___ years old and younger because tree rings are used for analysis.

3,000

How many electrons are in the largest Bohr orbit in uranium (92 protons)?

32

An atom has an atomic number of 34. How many protons and electrons does it have?

34

La-139 has 57 protons. How many electrons and neutrons does it have, respectively?

57, 82

A uranium atom has 92 protons. What is its largest Bohr orbit?

5th

How does gamma decay work?

A radioactive isotope emits a gamma ray, a high-energy photon.

model

A schematic description of a system that accounts for its known properties

How does alpha decay work?

An unstable nucleus reduces its number of neutrons and protons by ejecting a He-4 nucleus, or alpha particle.

Why is radioactive dating unreliable in most situations?

Assumptions must be made as to the original condition of the object. These assumptions are usually erroneous.

Who discovered pions and gave a rough prediction of their mass?

Hideki Yukawa

Determine the daughter product produced in the beta decay of Te-98 (Use periodic table)

I-98

How does beta-plus decay work?

Neutron-deficient nuclei tend to decay by positron emission or electron capture. Positron emission refers to the emission of a positron along with a neutrino and the resulting conversion of a proton inside the nucleus into a neutron.

Is the Bohr model completely correct?

No

Is a neutron stable on its own?

No; If it is not in the nucleus of an atom, it will decay into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino in a matter of minutes.

How does beta-minus decay work?

Nuclei that are rich in neutrons tend to decay by emitting an electron along with an antineutrino. As a result, one of the neutrons in the nucleus changes into a proton.

All atoms with eight protons are oxygen atoms. If a particular oxygen atom has eight neutrons, what is its name and how many electrons does it have?

Oxygen-16, 8

Determine the daughter product produced in the alpha decay of Ra-224 (Use periodic table)

Rn-220

An atom has an atomic number of 34. What is its chemical symbol? *Use periodic table

Se

Why is the strong nuclear force such a short-range force?

Since pions have a very short lifetime, the force can only act over very tiny distances.

Which of the following atoms are isotopes? Cd-112, Sn-112, Xe-120, Ar-40, Sn-120

Sn-112 and Sn-120

Determine the daughter product produced in the alpha decay of Bi-212 (Use periodic table)

Tl-208

Determine the daughter product produced in the beta decay of I-125 (Use periodic table)

Xe-125

Can a radioactive isotope be ignored if it is small enough?

Yes

element

a collection of atoms that all have the same number of protons

People who regularly work with large samples of radioactive isotopes sometimes wear special suits lined with a thin layer of lead or other heavy material. What kinds of radiation are these people mostly protected against when wearing a suit?

alpha and beta particles

List the three types of radioactive particles discussed in the module in the order of their ability to travel through matter. Start with the particle that cannot pass through much matter before stopping and end with the one that can pass through the most matter before stopping.

alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays

radioactive isotope

an atom with a nucleus that isn't stable

isotope

atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons

Order the constituent parts of the atom in terms of their mass from least to most massive.

electron, proton, neutron

What is an atom mostly made of?

empty space

A radioactive isotope goes through radioactive decay, but the isotope's number of protons and neutrons does not change. What kind of radioactive decay occurred?

gamma decay

The strong force is also manifested in the exchange of ___ between ___

gluons, quarks

Suppose a new force is discovered, and scientists determine that it is governed by the exchange of a particle known as the "wileon". If the lifetime of a wileon is greater than that of a pion but shorter than that of a photon, what is the range of this new force relative to the range of the range of the nuclear force and the electromagnetic force?

longer than nuclear force but shorter than electromagnetic force

Do neutrons have a charge?

no, they are neutral

Atoms are made up of

protons, neutrons, electrons

What is the more correct model of an atom called?
