Opener 1/23/07
* atomic number – found on the
periodic table, = # p+, identifies the
atom
* mass number - # protons + #
neutrons
* atomic mass - weighted average of
the masses of the naturally
occurring isotopes of an element.
Opener 1/23/07
* Isotope – atoms of the same element
with the same # p, different # neutrons
* nuclear decay - a nuclear reaction that
involves emission of energy or particles
from the nucleus, resulting in a more
stable nuclear environment
* radiation - describe the particles and/or
energy that are emitted during nuclear
decay. (Alpha, and beta particles, and
gamma rays)
Atomic Number
• equal to the number
of protons, always
the same for a given
element
• found on the
periodic table
• since it is the same
for all atoms of
that element, it is
always a whole
number.

Mass Number
• atoms of the same element may have
different numbers of neutrons
• the sum of that atom’s protons and
neutrons
• can only be found on the periodic
table for stable atoms, cannot be
found on the periodic table for an
isotope
Atomic Mass
• the weighted average
of the masses of the
naturally occurring
isotopes of an element
• found on the periodic
table
• it is an average, so
usually not a whole
number

Isotopes
• two or more atoms of the
same element having the
same number of
protons but different
numbers of neutrons (and
therefore different
masses)
• different numbers of
neutrons, so they have
different mass numbers

Unstable isotopes
• In order for a nucleus to be
stable, there must be enough
neutrons present to block the
repulsive forces among the
protons
• An unstable isotope of an
element is radioactive (gives
off radiation)
Due to the unstable condition of the
nucleus, radioactive isotopes undergo
nuclear decay
– Nuclear decay is a nuclear reaction that involves
emission of energy or particles from the
nucleus, resulting in a more stable nuclear
environment
– Nuclear decay occurs naturally in many elements
that are common on earth and there is always
some radiation present in every environment
– Radiation is the term used to describe the
particles and/or energy that are emitted during
nuclear decay (Alpha, and beta particles, and
gamma rays)
