The Beginning of Nuclear The Beginning of Nuclear ScienceScience
Scientists in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s made discoveries which would change the course of science and medicine.
Henri Becquerel
Marie and Pierre Curie

Atomic and Nuclear StuctureAtomic and Nuclear Stucture Atom - smallest unit of a chemical element
Size on the order of 10-8 cm (1 Angstrom) Contains Z electrons (Qe = -1e, me = 0.511 MeV/c2)
– e = 1.602x10-19 Coulomb– and
Nucleus – Size on the order of 10-13 cm (1 Fermi ) Contains more than 99.9% of the mass of the atom Made of Z protons and N neutrons Proton (Qp = +1e, mp = 938.28 MeV/c2 ) Neutron (Qn = 0, mn = 939.57 MeV/c2 ) A = Atomic mass = Z + N Held together by strong nuclear force

E = mc2
m = E/c2
Typical nuclear energies are on the order of millions of electron volts (MeV)
1 eV = 1.602x10 -19 joule
