This is a great presentation. Could I use this to educate my students as well, here in India?

26-1 The Phenomenon of Radioactivity: 

26-1 The Phenomenon of Radioactivity Alpha Particles, : Nuclei of He atoms, 4He2+. Low penetrating power, stopped by a sheet of paper. 2 The sum of the mass numbers must be the same on both sides. The sum of the atomic numbers must be the same on both sides

Beta Particles, -: 

Beta Particles, - Electrons originating from the nuclei of atoms in a nuclear decay process. Simplest process is the decay of a free neutron:

Positrons, +: 

Positrons, + Simplest process is the decay of a free proton: Commonly encountered in artificially produced radioactive nuclei of the lighter elements:

26-5 Rate of Radioactive Decay: 

26-5 Rate of Radioactive Decay The rate of disintegration of a radioactive material – called the activity, A, or the decay rate – is directly proportional to the number of atoms present. ln Nt N0 = -λt

Table 26.1 Some Representative Half-Lives

Radiocarbon Dating: 

Radiocarbon Dating In the upper atmosphere 14C forms at a constant rate: Live organisms maintain 14C/13C at equilibrium. Upon death, no more 14C is taken up and ratio changes. Measure ratio and determine time since death.

Mineral Dating: 

Mineral Dating Ratio of 206Pb to 238U gives an estimates of the age of rocks. The overall decay process (14 steps) is: The oldest known terrestrial mineral is about 4.5 billion years old. This is the time since that mineral solidified. + 8 → 0 -1 + 6

26-6 Energetics of Nuclear Reactions: 

26-6 Energetics of Nuclear Reactions E = mc2 All energy changes are accompanied by mass changes (m). In chemical reactions ΔE is too small to notice m. In nuclear reactions ΔE is large enough to see m. 1 MeV = 1.602210-13 J If m = 1.0 u then ΔE =1.492410-10 J or 931.5 MeV

26-8 Nuclear Fission: 

26-8 Nuclear Fission

Nuclear Fission: 

Nuclear Fission Enrico Fermi 1934. In a search for transuranium elements U was bombarded with neutrons.  emission was observed from the resultant material. Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Stassman 1938. Z not greater than 92. Ra, Ac, Th and Pa were found. The atom had been split.

Nuclear Fission: 

Nuclear Fission → 1n 0 + 1 1n 0 + 3 Fission fragments + 3.2010-11 J Energy released is 8.2107 kJ/g U. This is equivalent to the energy from burning 3 tons of coal

Nuclear “Accidents”: 

Nuclear “Accidents” Three Mile Island – partial meltdown due to lost coolant. Chernobyl – Fault of operators and testing safety equipment too close to the limit. France – safe operation provides 2/3 of power requirements for the country.

Breeder Reactors: 

Breeder Reactors Fertile reactors produce other fissile material. → n 1 0 + 1  0 -1 → +  0 -1 → +

Disadvantages of Breeder Reactors: 

Disadvantages of Breeder Reactors Liquid-metal-cooled fast breeder reactor (LMFBR). Sodium becomes highly radioactive in the reactor. Heat and neutron production are high, so materials deteriorate more rapidly. Radioactive waste and plutonium recovery. Plutonium is highly poisonous and has a long half life (24,000 years).

26-9 Nuclear Fusion: 

26-9 Nuclear Fusion Fusion produces the energy of the sun. Most promising process on earth would be: Plasma temperatures over 40,000,000 K to initiate a self-sustaining reaction (we can’t do this yet). Lithium is used to provide tritium and also act as the heat transfer material – handling problems. Limitless power once we start it up.

26-10 Effect of Radiation on Matter: 

26-10 Effect of Radiation on Matter Ionizing radiation. Power described in terms of the number of ion pairs per cm of path through a material. P > P > P Primary electrons ionized by the radioactive particle may have sufficient energy to produce secondary ionization.

26-11 Applications of Radioisotopes: 

26-11 Applications of Radioisotopes Cancer therapy. In low doses, ionizing radiation induces cancer. In high doses it destroys cells. Cancer cells are dividing quickly and are more susceptible to ionizing radiation than normal cells. The same is true of chemotherapeutic approaches.

Radioactive Tracers: 

Radioactive Tracers Tag molecules or metals with radioactive tags and monitor the location of the radioactivity with time. Feed plants radioactive phosphorus. Incorporate radioactive atoms into catalysts in industry to monitor where the catalyst is lost to (and how to recover it or clean up the effluent). Iodine tracers used to monitor thyroid activity.

Structures and Mechanisms: 

Structures and Mechanisms Radiolabeled (or even simply mass labeled) atoms can be incorporated into molecules. The exact location of those atoms can provide insight into the chemical mechanism of the reaction.

Analytical Chemistry: 

Analytical Chemistry Neutron activation analysis. Induce radioactivity with neutron bombardment. Measure in trace quantities, down to ppb or less. Non-destructive and any state of matter can be probed. Precipitate ions and weigh them to get a mass of material. Incorporate radioactive ions in the precipitating mixture and simply measure the radioactivity.

Focus On Radioactive Waste Disposal: 

Focus On Radioactive Waste Disposal

Focus On Radioactive Waste Disposal: 

Focus On Radioactive Waste Disposal Low level waste. Gloves, protective clothing, waste solutions. Short half lives. After 300 years these materials will no longer be radioactive. High level waste. Long half lives. Pu, 24,000 years and extremely toxic. Reprocessing is possible but hazardous. Recovered Pu is of weapons grade.

Chapter 26 Questions: 

Chapter 26 Questions Develop problem solving skills and base your strategy not on solutions to specific problems but on understanding. Choose a variety of problems from the text as examples. Practice good techniques and get coaching from people who have been here before.
