Atomic Structure - Radioactivity
Objectives: 4.6 Describe what radioactivity is. 4.8 Analyze Rutherford’s atomic model.

4.6 Radioactivity This was discovered by Becquerel in the 1890’s. A radioactive element is not stable. Unstable elements will decay over time. When an element decays, particles in the
nucleus escape into their surroundings.
These particles make up nuclear radiation

Radioactivity There are different radioactive
particles. Each particle has it’s own charge. Each particle has different
penetration powers.Alpha (α), Charge of +2, stopped by cardboard.Gamma (γ), charge of 0, stopped by concrete.Beta (β), charge of -1, stopped by thin metal.
Alpha (α) Beta (β) Gamma (Y)

Radioactivity If radioactive particles
are allowed to pass through charged plates, some particles will be deflected.
Beta particles go toward the
positive plate
Gamma particles are not deflected
either way
Alpha particles go towards the
negative plate

Rutherford used the ideas of radioactivity to carry out experiments to help him better define the atomic model.
His experiment involved: Exploring matter by shooting alpha
particles against thin sheets of metal.
4.8 Rutherford’s Atomic Model
![Page 6: SE 402 7 Atomic Structure & Radioactivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052915/5886c4191a28abcc7d8b5aab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Radiumin Lead Block
AlphaParticle beam
Fluorescent Screen
Thin sheet ofGold foil
Fluorescent Screen
A FEW particles are sharply deflected
MOST particles passed through the gold foil & were not deflected
SEVERAL particles pass through the gold foil & were slightly deflected

Conclusions from Rutherford’s Experiment:
3 Main Observations
OBSERVATIONS CONCLUSIONS1. MOST (almost all) went
through the gold foil & were not deflected
Atom contains a significant amount of empty space
2. FEW (not many) bounced directly back
The atom’s dense core (nucleus) must be very small
3. SEVERAL (some) passed through the gold foil & were deflected
The nucleus must be positive (law of repulsion)
Alpha Particles
MOST went through empty space
FEW approach nucleus & bounced
back SEVERAL were deflected by the nucleus

Rutherford Model
Rutherford proposed a new
model based on his findings
and Thomson's Model.
Rutherford’s Model placed electrons orbiting,
like a cloud, around a dense,
positively charged nucleus.

The diagram below shows radiation passing through a wooden screen and then through an electric field. This electric field has a positive end and a negative end. By analyzing the radiations behavior in this electric field, which type of radiation was used?

Rutherford’s famous gold foil experiment is shown below. Which of the four statements stated are true and which are false? (there can be more than one true!)
Lead
Gold
Florescent Screen
Lead Box
(Radio active substance) 1. Since most of the alpha particles went through the gold foil,
the atom consists of mostly of empty space.2. All of the alpha particles are deflected because they repel
the electrons 3. Most of the alpha particles bounce straight back showing
that the nucleus is very large.4. Several of the alpha particles are deflected showing that the
nucleus must have a positive charge

Three types of radiation and their charges: Alpha +2 (weakest) Beta -1 (intermediate) Gamma Ø neutral (strongest)
Rutherford’s Model Be familiar with diagram of experiment Know experiment results:
Particles go through - mostly empty space Particles slightly deflected - same charge as
nucleus so repelled Particles bounced back- direct hit on nucleus
