Chapter 11 Nuclear Chemistry
11 | 2
Nuclear Chemistry cont’dWhat is nuclear chemistry?
The study of reactions that result from changes in the nucleus of an atom
11 | 3
Nuclear Chemistry cont’dIn nuclear chemistry specific atoms are called……
……..nuclides.
Nuclides are identified by two types of notation:
1.Nuclear Symbol
2.Element name-mass number
11 | 4
Nuclear Chemistry cont’d
N15
7
mass number
atomic number
This is an example of a nuclear symbol .
11 | 5
Nuclear Chemistry cont’dThe nuclear symbol can also be expressed as shown.
mass number
nitrogen-15
name of element
11 | 6
Nuclear Chemistry cont’dPractice Questions
Write two notations for a nuclidethat has:
a.41 protons, 41 electrons, 55 neutronsb.11 protons, 11 electrons, 14 neutrons
11 | 7
Radioactive Decay
11 | 8
Nuclides are either stable or unstable
Unstable nuclides (or radionuclides)undergo radioactive decay.
11 | 9
Radioactive decay is a nuclear reaction that emits radiation while changing the nuclide of one element into another.
11 | 10
For example; the silver- 113 radionuclide decays to cadmium- 113 with the emission of a beta particle and gamma rays.

Types of Natural Radioactive Emission
11 | 12
Three major types of natural radioactive emission:
Beta particle (an electron from the nucleus)
Alpha particle( the nucleus of a He atom)
Gamma rays (energy similar to x-rays)

Let’s look at Half-life
11 | 15
Nuclear Chemistry cont’d
The half-life of a radionuclide is the time required for ½ of it to decay.
Half-life is frequently given the symbol t1/2.

Half-life Decay Graph for 80 mg of Iodine-131
mf = mi
2n
1. mf is the f inal sample mass2. mi is the initial sample mass3. n is number of half -lives
Equation to Determine Final Mass of a Radionuclide
Practice Problem I :
How many grams of cobalt -60 is left when 2.0 g of it decays for 15.9 years? It t1/2 is 5.3 years.
Practice Problem II :
What is the t1/2 for the radionuclide potassium-45 ( a beta emitter) if a 50mg sample decays to 5.3 years.
