Write the following isotopes in hyphenated form (e.g., "carbon-14")

(a) \(_{11}^{24}Na\)

(b) \(_{13}^{29}Al\)

(c) \({^{73}_{36}}Kr\)

(d) \(_{77}^{194}Ir\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Sodium-24.

b) Aluminium-29.

c) Krypton-73.

d) Iridium-194.

Step by step solution

01

Hyphenated form

The representation of isotopes in hyphenated form consists of the element name and its mass number. The mass number is the total number of nucleons of an atom.

The general representation of an element is:\(_Z^AX\), where \(Z\)is the atomic number of element and A is the mass number.

Atomic number of element is the number of protons and it is equal to the number of electrons in an atom.

Mass number is the total number of proton and neutron in an atom.

02

Subpart a)

The given nuclide is\(_{11}^{24}Na\)

The atomic mass of \(Na\)is 24.

The hyphenated form is: Sodium-24.

03

Subpart b)

The given nuclide \(_{13}^{29}Al\).From that we can see that the atomic mass of Al is \(29.\)

The hyphenated form is: Aluminium-29.

04

Subpart c)

The given nuclide is \(_{36}^{73}Kr\). The atomic mass of \(Kr\)is \(73.\)

The hyphenated form is: Krypton- \(73.\)

05

Subpart d)

The given nuclide is \(_{77}^{194}{\bf{Ir}}\). The atomic mass of \({\bf{I}}\) is 194.

The hyphenated form is: Iridium-194.

Question: Write a nuclear reaction for each step in the formation of \({}_{84}^{{\rm{218}}}Po\) from \({}_{{\rm{98}}}^{{\rm{238}}}{\rm{U}}\), which proceeds by a series of decay reactions involving the step-wise emission of \({\rm{\alpha , \beta , \beta , \alpha , \alpha , \alpha }}\) particles, in that order.

Isotopes such as\(^{26}{\rm{Al}}\)(half-life:\(7.2 \times {10^5}\)years) are believed to have been present in our solar system as it formed, but have since decayed and are now called extinct nuclides.

(a)\(^{26}{\rm{Al}}\)decays by\({\beta ^ + }\)emission or electron capture. Write the equations for these two nuclear transformations.

(b) The earth was formed about\(4.7 \times {10^9}\)(4.7 billion) years ago. How old was the earth when\(99.999999\% \)of the\(^{26}{\rm{Al}}\)originally present had decayed?

A \(_5^8\;{\rm{B}}\) atom (mass \( = 8.0246{\rm{amu}}\) ) decays into a\(_4^8\;{\rm{B}}\)atom (mass \(\left. { = 8.0053{\rm{amu}}} \right)\) by loss of a \({\beta ^ + }\)particle (mass \( = \)\(0.00055{\rm{amu}}\) ) or by electron capture. How much energy (in millions of electron volts) is produced by this reaction?

Question: The mass of the atom \({9_{19}}\;F\) is 18.99840amu.

(a) Calculate its binding energy per atom in millions of electron volts.

(b) Calculate its binding energy per nucleon.

A scientist is studying a \(2.234\) g sample of thorium-229 \(\left( {{t_{1/2}} = 7340{\rm{y}}} \right)\) in a laboratory.

(a) What is its activity in Bq?

(b) What is its activity in Ci?
