Page 1: Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy. Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun? How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear

Warm Up #2

Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy.

Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun?

How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear fission?

Page 2: Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy. Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun? How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear

NUCLEAR DECAY CONTINUED

Page 3: Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy. Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun? How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear

It’s Radioactive…so what?

Radioactive – the element is UNSTABLE Too many neutrons

Result: Nuclear Fission - The nucleus spontaneously DECOMPOSES (breaks down)

Breakdown = Decay

How We Measure Radiation

Measured in REM (Roentgen-Equivalent, Man)

Common things with radiation:

X-Rays Cell Phones TV’s MicrowavesAll are VERY small doses

(way less than 1 REM)

Effects of Radiation

50-100 REM = feeling sick

100-500 REM = immune system damage, burns

500-1000 REM = nausea, digestive tract damage, death within days

1000+ REM = coma, death within hours

Chemotherapy - Good Used to treat cancer

patients

Inject radioactive drugs into body, killing A LOT of cells (including cancer cells)

Lose hair/feel awful = effects of radiation and healthy cell death

Page 8: Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy. Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun? How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear

Hiroshima - Bad 1945 – Atomic bomb

dropped, killing 77,000 instantly

Over the next 5 years, 200,000+ died

Why? Radiation poisoning, burns, and cancer as a result of bomb

Review

Example: Lithium-7

Mass Number = # Protons + Neutrons (7) ON TOP

Atomic Number = # Protons (3)

ON BOTTOM

Types of Radioactive Decay

Alpha – large particle, little penetrating power

If ingested, can damage lung/organ cells

Beta – smaller than alpha, cannot penetrate skin, but can burn it

Gamma – smallest, can penetrate almost anything, doing a lot of damage

Page 11: Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy. Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun? How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear

Types of Decay[Greek Alphabet Status]

Alpha – Element breaks down to release a HELIUM molecule HEAVY decay

Mass # LOSES 4 (helium’s mass is 4)

Atomic # LOSES 2 (helium’s atomic is 2)

Page 12: Describe how the sun uses nuclear fusion for energy. Why is nuclear fusion able to be possible on the sun? How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear

Types of Decay Continued

Beta Decay – Element breaks down to form a loose ELECTRON

Positron Production – Element breaks down to form POSITRON (positively charged electron)

e

One More…

Gamma Decay – an element loses ENERGY, not particles.

Element STAYS the same, just in less excited state

Gamma symbol: γ

Quick QuizYou are given Thorium-250.

1. Write it with Mass # on top, Symbol, then Atomic # on bottom

2. Show what would happen if it underwent ALPHA decay.

3. Show BETA decay.

4. Show POSITRON emission.
