Remember

Protons: + charge

Neutrons: neutral

Electrons: - charge

atomic symbol

atomic number number of protons

mass number number of protons and neutrons

Nuclear Symbols – notice mass number is on top

Slide 3

Nuclear Emissions

Nuclear Emissions

Radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom.

Unstable nucleus emits a particle or energy  alpha

 beta

 gamma

non-radioactive particle = neutron

Slide 4

Alpha Particle

Alpha Particle

Same as a helium nucleus

(He)

4

2 He or 

Two protons

Two neutrons

Slide 5

Beta Particle 

Beta Particle 

An electron emitted from the nucleus

0

e or 

1

A neutron in the nucleus breaks down

1 1 0

n H + e

0 1 -1

Slide 6

Gamma  Radiation

Gamma  Radiation

Pure radiation

Like an X-ray but comes from the nucleus

Slide 7

Radiation Protection

Radiation Protection

Shielding

alpha – paper, clothing

beta – lab coat, gloves

gamma- lead, thick concrete

Limit time exposed

Keep distance from source

Radiation Protection

Radiation Protection

Slide 9

Nuclear Equations

Nuclear Equations

In the reactants and products

Atomic numbers must balance

and

Mass numbers must balance
