Subatomic Particles
• Protons- plus charge
In the nucleus
• Neutrons- neutral
• Electrons - negative charge
Outside the nucleus

Radiation
• Radiation comes from the nucleus of an
atom.
• Unstable nucleus emits a particle or energy

Gamma  Radiation
• Pure radiation
• Like an X-ray but comes from the nucleus

6

Radiation Protection
• Shielding
alpha – paper, clothing
beta – lab coat, gloves
gamma- lead, thick concrete
• Limit time exposed
• Keep distance from source

Balancing Nuclear Equations
In the reactants and products
Atomic numbers must balance
and
Mass numbers must balance

Learning Check NR3
The half life of I-123 is 13 hr. How much
of a 64 mg sample of I-123 is left after
26 hours?

26 hours

=

2 x t1/2

Amount initial

=
