Q

What are isotopes, isobars, isotopes, and isomers

A

Isotopes- atoms with the same z but different a
Isobars- atoms with the same a but different z
Isotopes- atoms with the same number of neutrons but different number of protons
Isomers- same a and same z

Q

What is radioactive half life

A

Period of time required for a quantity of radioactivity to be reduced to 1/2 it’s original value

17
Q

What must be equal for an atom to be neutral

A

Same number of protons and electrons

18
Q

How is ionization produced

A

Particulate radiation- any subatomic particle can cause ionization

19
Q

What is radioactive decay

A

When atoms attempt to reach stability, emit particles and energy and transform into another atom.
Used in nuclear medicine

20
Q

What is beta emission and what energy is involved.

A

A neutron undergoes conversion into a proton. At the same time, an electron like particle is ejected from nucleus escaping the atom with considerable kinetic energy

21
Q

What is alpha emission and can the nucleus be to emit an alpha particle

A

Consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons bound together.

Very unstable
