AP Physics Chp 31. Nucleons Proton Electron Neutron. Isotopes - different number of neutrons. Nuclide notation Z = atomic number A = mass number. Electrostatic Force between protons would never allow them to stay together
E N D
Nucleons • Proton • Electron • Neutron
Nuclide notation • Z = atomic number A = mass number
Electrostatic Force between protons would never allow them to stay together • Strong Nuclear Force exists between protons and neutrons when they are very close together
Stability of isotopes • As protons increase the number of neutrons has to increase by an even greater amount to offset the electrostatic force between protons
Mass Defect • All the nucleons added don’t equal the atoms mass. Energy is released when combined.
Types of radioactive decay • Alpha particle – helium nucleus
Positron production – similar to electron • Electron capture – inner-orbital electron
Activity • Disintegration per time • Becquerel = 1 disintegration/s Bq
Radioactive Dating • Decay Series Parent to Daughter • Detectors
Neutrino • Very small mass and not much interaction with matter • Usually released in other decays
Electroweak Force • Weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force Gravitational, Strong Nuclear, Electroweak are the fundamental forces
Living things have 1.66x10-13 % carbon-14 but if you test a sample and it only has 3.22 x 10-17 % how long since it died? Half-life is 5730 yrs.
