Nuclear notation and Binding energy • Contents: • Atomic notation • Isotopes • Whiteboard • Binding Energy • AMU • Making an atom • Calculating binding energy • Whiteboards • The curve of binding energy and the strong nuclear force (or why there is a limit to the periodic table)
Atomic notation X C A 12 Z 6 • X = Symbol (C, Au) • A = Atomic Mass Number = #nucleons • (Protons + Neutrons) • Z = Atomic Number = #protons Carbon A = 12, Z = 6. #neutrons? TOC
Isotopes C C 12 14 6 6 Carbon 12 has 6 Neutrons Carbon 14 has 8 Neutrons Carbon 14 is an isotope of Carbon Chemically the same Nuclear-lly different (it’s unstable) TOC

Binding energy - the energy to take an atom apart Unified Mass Units: (u) C 12 (neutral atom) = 12.0000000 u (defined) 1 u = 1.6605 x 10-27 kg = 931.5 MeV Electron = .00054858 u (not useful) Proton = 1.007276 u (not useful) H (neutral atom) = 1.007825 u (very useful) Neutron = 1.008665 u (very useful) TOC
Binding energy - the energy to take an atom apart H (neutral atom) = 1.007825 u (very useful) Neutron = 1.008665 u (very useful) 1 u = 931.5 MeV • To take an atom apart: • C 12 can be taken apart into: • 6 H atoms: 6(1.007825 u) (i.e. 6 p + 6 e) • 6 Neutrons: 6(1.008665 u) • Total “taken apart” mass = 6(1.007825 u) + 6(1.008665 u) • Total “taken apart” mass = 12.09894 u • Mass “defect” = 12.09894 u - 12.000000 u = .09894 u • .09894 u - Represents energy needed to take atom apart • Binding energy = (.09894 u)(931.5 MeV/u) = 92.16 MeV TOC
Binding energy - the energy to take an atom apart H (neutral atom) = 1.007825 u (very useful) Neutron = 1.008665 u (very useful) 1 u = 931.5 MeV • Binding energy in general • Look neutral atom mass in Appendix F (p 1064) • Break atom into H and n • Subtract neutral atom mass from taken apart mass • Multiply mass defect by 931.5 Mev/u TOC

Nuclear Stability Coulombic force tries to tear apart nucleus Strong Nuclear force holds it together(force between nucleons) • Strong Nuclear is very short range • As nucleus gets bigger • Strong nuclear gets weaker • Coulombic gets stronger n p p p n n p Neutrons add strong force, don’t repel Trend with heavier elements At some point neutrons don’t cut it The crazy man at UMn TOC
