Unit 16 nuclear chemistry

Nuclear reaction A reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is changed affecting the identity of that element What are some differences between chemical reactions and nuclear reactions? Elements may be changed in a nuclear reaction but are only rearranged in a chemical reaction What is the strong nuclear Read more…

Unit 3-part 2: Nuclear Chemistry

electromagnetic radiation (EMR) high energy particles with no mass given off by different objects photons “packet” of energy that moves through space, all types of EMR fall into one of these “packets” electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) entire range of possible energies given off my EMR Non-ionizing radiation low energy radiation, not Read more…

Nuclear Chemistry

Niel’s Bohr • In 1913 Niels’ Bohr, a Danish physicist proposed a new model for the hydrogen atom •He proposed that the electron has certain orbits that it has to stay in that circle the nucleus •The orbits can also be called ATOMIC ENERGY LEVELS Niels Bohr •An electron can Read more…

Nuclear Chemistry: Unit 5

Most chemical reactions involve The exchange or shafing of electrons which does not affect the nucleus How is nuclear chemistry different than other chemical reactions? Bc it involves changes in the nucleus Transmutation When the nucleus of one element is changed into the nucleus of a different element Which means Read more…

Nuclear Chemistry (Notes)

Discovery of Radiation Henri Becquerel 1896 – wrapped photographic film in black paper, put uranium on top and left it in the sun – the photograph was “exposed” so he figured the uranium had absorbed and emitted sunlight – did same experiment on cloudy day…film was still exposed – concluded Read more…

Nuclear Chemistry Review

Radioactivity Process by which nuclei of unstable isotopes emit radiation Subatomic Particles in the Nucleus In the nucleus of an atom, there are protons (p+) and neutrons (n0) Radioisotope An unstable isotope that is subject to radioactive decay Radioactive Decay The breaking down of an unstable atomic nucleus to produce Read more…

PreAP Nuclear Chemistry Review

Chemical Reactions Involves valence electrons, Elements rearranged to form new compounds, Law of conservation of mass obeyed, Little energy released. Nuclear Reactions *Changes occur in the nucleus; involves protons, neutrons, and electrons. *Transmutation occurs (one element turns into another) *Law is not always obeyed. Mass is changed into energy. *Lots Read more…

25.1 and 25.2 Nuclear chemistry

Marie curie and pierre curie Shied that rays emitted by the uranium atoms caused the fogging of the plates Radioactucuty Process of the fog Material that gives off suck rays Radiation Penetrating rays and particles emitted by radioactive source Nuclear reactions differ from chemical reactions Chem reaction: atoms tend to Read more…

Chemistry Unit 14 Nuclear Chemistry

List 3 differences between a chemical reaction and a nuclear reaction – nuclei split – involve large energy changes -atoms are converted into other atoms What is phosphorescence Emission of light after being exposed to sunlight also “glow-in-the-dark” What uranium ore did the Curies work with Pitchblende The Curies later Read more…
