In class activity # 1

In class activity #2

• State the number of protons and neutrons

• What type of radioactive decay is occurring in this nuclear decay equation?

37 17

Cl

• Protons 17 • Neutrons 20

235 92

U

92 143

60 27

• Beta Decay: • no change in mass, increase atomic number by 1

In Class Activity # 3 • Write a balanced nuclear decay equation for Fermium-250 that undergoes alpha decay 250 100

Fm → 24He 2+ + 246 98 Cf

60 Co → 28 Ni + e −

In class activity # 4 • 400 mg of Co-60 • Half life is 5.25 years • How much is left after 15.75 years? First determine how many half lives have gone by: 15.75 years/5.25 years = 3 L1/2 Then calculate how much is left by

R=I

1 1 1 = 400mg ⋅ 3 = 400mg ⋅ = 50mg 2n 2 8

Or dividing 400 mg by 2 three times
