  1. UNIT 2NUCLEAR REACTIONS7.4 What are natural and artificial transmutations? AIM: What is the difference between artificial and natural transmutations DO NOW: • What subatomic particle is negatively charged? • 2. Write the nuclear decay equation for gold‐198. • 3. If 1/8 of C‐14 is left over, how many half‐lives • did the sample undergo May 19, 2010 Electron (e-) 198 0 198 79Au -1β + 80Hg ½ x ½ x ½ = 1/8, so 3 half lives

  2. REVIEW • Spontaneous Decay is when an unstable radioactive nuclei changes into a stable isotope. • Every decay reaction we looked at so far represents spontaneous decay

  3. TRY Write the spontaneous decay reaction for: • 1. K‐42 • 2. Radon‐222

  4. NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL TRANSMUTATION Transmutation • ______________________ is a reaction in which we change one element to _________________element. • • There are two kinds of transmutation reactions: 1. __________________________________ 2. __________________________________ different NATURAL ARTIFICIAL

  5. For this change to happen, high‐energy particles are fired at the element. The element undergoes spontaneous decay because it is unstable. These reactions occur “spontaneously” (on its own) In this reaction, two things are being combined: (1) The nucleus being bombarded (2) The high‐energy particle We start with ONE element on the RIGHT side of the arrow and end up with TWO things on the product side (right side) We start with TWO things on the left side of the arrow and 2 or more things on the right side of the arrow

  6. TRY THESE Natural Natural Natural Artificial Natural Artificial Artificial

  7. Balancing natural and artificial transmutation reactions Remember the law of conservation of mass! We must have a balanced equation!

  8. Balance the equation 4 2 4 He 2
