Nuclear Chemistry • The study of reactions that take place in the nuclei of atoms
Chemical Reactions • In normal chemical reactions, only the electrons are involved
Radioactive Nuclei • Nuclei that spontaneously decompose
Isotopes • Elements with the same atomic number, but different mass number
Isotopes • Elements with = numbers of protons, but numbers of neutrons
Isotopes • All elements have at least one radioactive isotope
Nuclear Radiation • The emission of particles & rays from spontaneously decomposing nuclei
Modes of Decay • Alpha emission • Beta emission • Gamma emission • Positron emission • K-electron capture
Alpha Particle (a) • Helium nucleus • 2 protons & 2 neutrons • mass = 4 amu • charge = +2 • Penetration power: small
Beta Particle (b) • High speed electron • 1 electron • mass = 1/1836 amu • charge = -1 • Penetration power: medium

Transmutation Rxns • Nuclear reactions in which one element is changed into another
Transmutation Rxns • Reactions in which the nucleus of an atom is changed
Transmutation Rxns • Both fission & fusion are examples of transmutation rxns
Transmutation Rxns • Can occur through emission of or bombardment by particles

Predict Products • a emission of O-18 followed by a • b emission:
Predict Products • b absorption by V-45 followed by neutron emission then a emission
Predict Products • neutron bombardment of Ta-182 followed by b emission then a emission

Nuclear Fission • U-235 is the only fissable isotope of uranium • 0.71 % of uranium is U-235 • 99.28 % of uranium is U-238
Nuclear Fission • Chain reaction can occur only when it reaches critical mass • The percentage of U-235 in uranium is too low to form a chain reaction
Nuclear Fission • To run a power plant, the U-235 needs to be enriched to ~ 2% • To make a bomb, the U-235 needs to be enriched to > 70%
Nuclear Fission • To create a chain reaction, the U-235 % must be increased (enriched) greatly • Ultra-centrifugation
Decay Rate • The rate at which radioactive nuclei break down
Half-Life • The time it takes for 50 % of the radioactive nuclei to decompose
Decay Rate • Rate = kDX/Dt • ln(Xi/Xf) = kt1/2 • k = 0.693/t1/2 • t1/2 = half-life
1st Order Age Dating Formula • ln(Xi/Xf)t1/2 • 0.693 t =
