Isotopes – Different Isotopes – Different Numbers of NeutronsNumbers of Neutrons
What’s the difference What’s the difference between the two between the two atoms in Figure 12?atoms in Figure 12?
O-17 has O-17 has one extra one extra neutronneutron
These two These two atoms are atoms are called called IsotopesIsotopes
How Many Neutrons?How Many Neutrons?
Isotopes with more neutrons are Isotopes with more neutrons are heavier than isotopes with fewer heavier than isotopes with fewer neutrons.neutrons.
Lets calculate the number of neutrons Lets calculate the number of neutrons in a Carbon-14 atom:in a Carbon-14 atom:

13 – 6 = 7 neutrons13 – 6 = 7 neutrons
What determines What determines properties?properties?
Chemical properties are determined by Chemical properties are determined by the number of valence electrons an the number of valence electrons an atom has.atom has.
Valence electrons determine what type Valence electrons determine what type of bond an element will form.of bond an element will form.
Do isotopes have similar chemical Do isotopes have similar chemical properties??properties??

Do isotopes have similar chemical Do isotopes have similar chemical properties??properties??
Yes they do, because they have the same Yes they do, because they have the same number of electrons.number of electrons.
What is radioactive decay?What is radioactive decay?
The three isotopes of Carbon have The three isotopes of Carbon have similar properties, but C-14 is similar properties, but C-14 is radioactive.radioactive.
What is radioactive decay?What is radioactive decay?
When radioactive decay occurs, an When radioactive decay occurs, an unstable atomic nucleus changes into unstable atomic nucleus changes into another nucleus by releasing one or more another nucleus by releasing one or more particles and energy.particles and energy.
Stability increases and a different element Stability increases and a different element is formed. (See Figure 15 on page 303)is formed. (See Figure 15 on page 303)

Radioactive Elements and Radioactive Elements and the Periodic Tablethe Periodic Table
Radioactive elements = elements that Radioactive elements = elements that have only radioactive isotopeshave only radioactive isotopes
Radioactive Elements are HEAVY so Radioactive Elements are HEAVY so they are found near the bottom of the they are found near the bottom of the periodic table (See figure 18 below)periodic table (See figure 18 below)
Half-lifeHalf-life
Isotopes decay at very Isotopes decay at very different ratesdifferent rates
Half-life= the time it Half-life= the time it takes for half of the takes for half of the original sample to original sample to decaydecay
Uranium-235 has a Uranium-235 has a half life of 713 million half life of 713 million years!years!
How many grams How many grams would be left after would be left after another 713 million another 713 million years?years?
