Atomic Theory

Atoms are the smallest particles of elements.

Atoms were first proposed by Democritus over 2000 years ago.

The idea of atoms was reintroduced in 1803 by John Dalton.

1. Atoms are tiny, discrete particles 2. Atoms are indestructible3. Atoms of the same element have the

same mass and properties4. Atoms combine in simple whole-

number ratios5. Atoms in different ratios produce

different compounds.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

same mass and properties4. Atoms combine in simple whole-

number ratios5. Atoms in different ratios produce

different compounds.

We know that parts of Dalton’s atomic theory are no longer valid in today’s modern Quantum Mechanical model of the atom.

same mass and properties

We know that atoms are made up of smaller particles, and that there are slight differences between atoms of the same element - isotopes.

Atomic Theory

We know that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons and neutrons are located in a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.

We know that atoms are mostly empty space.

Atomic Theory

In 1897 J. J. Thomson discovered that cathode rays were actually streams of subatomic particles.

These particles carried a negative charge and were called electrons.

Cathode ray tube

Atomic Theory

We know atoms are mostly empty space and that protons and neutrons

are located in a small, dense, positively charged nucleus because of Rutherford’s explanation of the

alpha scattering (gold foil) experiment.

+Most of the alpha particles pass through undeflected.

Atomic Theory source

+Some positive alpha particles are repelled by the small, dense, positively charged nucleus.

Atomic Theory source

Atomic Theory

We know that electrons are outside the nucleus in an “electron cloud”.

Electrons exist in specific energy levels, which explains the line

spectra of the elements.

Started with the Bohr model.

Atomic Theory

We now use the Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom.

Quantum Theory describes the nature of electrons and their

interactions with the electrons of other atoms in chemical reactions.

Atomic Theory

The subatomic particles that make up atoms have known properties like mass and electrical charge.

Our understanding came through the efforts of a number of

scientists like Thomson, Millikan, Rutherford, and Chadwick.

Subatomic particles - Summary1. Protons and neutrons are located in

the nucleus.2. Protons and neutrons have almost

the same mass. Neutrons heavier.3. Electrons are outside the nucleus and

much lighter than proton or neutron.4. Protons and electrons have the same

charge but opposite polarity. 5. Neutrons have no charge.

Isotopes

Isotopes …

Therefore, isotopes of the same element have different masses.

…of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons.

Isotopes …

…don’t have to be radioactive. Some isotopes are unstable and

decay, releasing alpha or beta particles, or gamma rays.

But, there are many stable isotopes that don’t decay.

Isotopes …

Mass number - the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Atomic number - the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

…have different mass numbers but the same atomic number.

Some elements have several Isotopes

Lead has four naturally occurring isotopes, Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, and Pb-208; but there are 23 man-made isotopes of lead.

Some elements have several Isotopes

Bismuth has only one naturally occurring isotope,

Bi-209, but there are 22 man-made isotopes of bismuth.

Finding the number of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons

The number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the

number of protons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.

neutrons = A - Z

The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number.

Look at the periodic table and find the element by using the symbol.

A = 235protons + neutrons = 235

Z = 92protons = 92electrons = 92

A = 235protons + neutrons = 235

How many neutrons are in a U-235 atom?

235 – 92 = 143 neutrons

How many neutrons are in a U-235 atom?

Q. Find the number of neutrons in the Ba-137 isotope.

Enriched uranium

Manhattan Project

Less than 1% of naturally occurring uranium is U-235

Manhattan Project

Naturally occurring uranium is mostly U-238

To sustain a nuclear chain reaction, uranium must be at least 4% U-235.

Manhattan Project

Bomb grade uranium is over 90% U-235

The process of increasing the percentage of U-235 is

called enrichment.

The uranium for a nuclear reactor is around 4% U-235.

Manhattan Project

Uranium ore is reacted with fluorine to make gaseous UF6.

Then the gaseous UF6 is introduced into chambers with porous disks in the ends.

Manhattan Project

The lighter UF6 molecules containing U-235 effuse

through the holes in the disk faster. There is more U-235

on the other side of disk.

Manhattan Project

As the UF6 continues to move through many, many disks, the percentage of U-235 atoms in the gas increases, resulting in

enrichment.

Manhattan Project

Graham’s Law says that gas molecules which weigh less, will move faster than molecules which weigh more.

Manhattan Project

The enriched UF6 containing a much higher percentage of U-235 atoms, is reacted with water to make uranium oxide and HF. The uranium oxide is dried and made into fuel pellets.

Deuterium and tritium are used in nuclear reactors and fusion research.

Some isotopes are radioactive

Radioactive isotopes are called radioisotopes.

Radioisotopes can emit alpha, beta or gamma

radiation as they decay.

Man-made Isotopes

Cobalt-59 occurs naturally. When a neutron “sticks” to the nucleus,

cobalt-60 is formed.

Man-made isotopes are usually made by bombarding atoms with protons or neutrons.

Uses for Isotopes

Radioisotopes are used as tracers in chemical reactions.

Radioisotopes are used in “imaging” living and nonliving systems.

Radioisotopes are used to kill cancer cells. (Co-60, Bi-212)

Gamma rays and high energy cosmic particles from space.

But there is one kind of radiation hazard that you

can protect against.

The uranium decay series

Radon is the only gas in the series.

http://library.tedankara.k12.tr/chemistry/vol1/nucchem/trans90.htm

Hazards from radon

Since radon is the only gas in the decay series of uranium …

…it can work its way up through the ground and into your

basements and crawl spaces.

You breathe radon into your lungs.

Hazards from radon

And when radon is in your lungs…

…it can decay and release an alpha particle …

…which travels only a short distance before it is absorbed by your lungs, and transfers its energy.

Hazards from radon

This ionizing radiation in your lungs can cause lung cancer.

Smoking cigarettes and breathing radon really increases your

chances of getting lung cancer.

Protecting against radon

Get a test kit to see if there is a problem. Charcoal canisters, which are sent off for analysis.

Abatement:Seal places where gas gets in.

Ventilation – bring in fresh air.

Half life

Beta decay

Neutrons are a little more massive than protons; neutrons are neutral.

What does this suggest about the composition of neutrons?

Beta decay occurs because of the instability of a neutron.

Beta decayScientists used to think that neutrons might be a combination of a proton and an electron.

We know that neutrons decay into protons, which stay in the nucleus,

and electrons, which are ejected from the nucleus as beta particles.

Nuclear energy

All have enough energy to ionize atoms.

Gamma rays are electromagnetic energy.

Alpha and beta particles have high kinetic energies.

All nuclear decay is accompanied by a release of energy.

Nuclear energy

This can result in damage to your body.

Ionization occurs when electrons are removed from

atoms by or radiation.

An ion is a “charged atom” or group of atoms.

cancer

Nuclear energy

Forms of ionizing radiation are:

Alpha Beta Gamma X-rays

Cosmic rays

Ultraviolet light (UV) can cause cancer, but it is not ionizing radiation.

Neutrons Positrons

There’s even more!

But there is an even greater release of energy when the atom splits apart …

Some of the energy that holds the nucleus together is carried away by the alpha, beta and gamma radiation.

Nuclear Fission

Nuclear fission

Fission – the splitting of an atom after being struck by a neutron.

Nuclear fission

The neutrons strike other atoms causing more fission.

Plus, two or three neutrons are released along with a great deal of energy.

The atom splits into two or more fission fragments.

These U-235 atoms can split when hit by neutrons, and

release more neutrons, starting a

chain reaction.

Nuclear fission

To picture a chain reaction, imagine 50 mousetraps in a wire cage.

And on each mousetrap are two ping-pong balls.

Now imagine dropping one more ping-pong ball into the cage …

Nuclear fission

Billions of splitting atoms releases a huge amount of heat energy.

This energy originally held the nucleus together.

As the chain reaction proceeds, energy is released as heat energy.

Nuclear fission

This heat energy can be harnessed to boil water, creating steam,

that can spin a turbine,

that can turn a generator,

creating electricity.

Steam to turbine

The water in the core serves two functions.

(1) The water cools the core and carries away heat.

(2) Water is a moderator. The water slows the

neutrons so that they can cause fission. Fast

neutrons do not cause fission.

In fact, the only purpose of a nuclear reactor is to boil water.

Pros and cons

Cheap, plentiful power, no CO2, nuclear waste, terrorist attack, running out of oil and coal, on-site storage, breeder reactors, transportation of spent fuel, “not in my backyard”, …

What about fusion?

Nuclear fusion

is like a day without fusion.

Nuclear fusion

Is nuclear fusion an alternative to fission for producing electricity?

Fusion occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to make helium,

and release energy.

Nuclear fusion powers the sun.

Nuclear fusion

Now consumes more energy than it releases.

Magnetic bottle. Control problems.

Occurs at very high temperatures which nothing can withstand.

Fusion not now technically feasible.
