Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy – energy that exists within
the nucleus of an atom Nuclear fission – process of breaking
apart subatomic bonds which releases large amounts of energy
Disadvantage of nuclear energy:• Produces radioactive waste• In short supply (100-200 years at current
consumption rate)• Extremely expensiveSafety concerns:• Produces radioactive waste• Extremely dangerous if explodes – which will
contaminate thousands of miles of land

An example of nuclear fission is the explosion of an atomic bomb
The first atomic bomb was dropped by the U.S on Hiroshima, Japan during WWII
Nuclear materials are an extraordinarily rich energy source
One gram of uranium-235, the most common nuclear fuel, delivers about as much energy as 3.5 metric tons of coal
Nuclear energy does not produce carbon dioxide

16 years later the soil is still being tested
The nuclear reactor at Chernobyl was covered up with concrete and steel to stop any more radiation from escaping

In the United States a massive effort to build an atomic bomb was launched in 1942. The code name was the Manhattan Project. This project was carried out in extreme secrecy On July 16, 1945, in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, the US successfully conducted the world's first nuclear test.

Nuclear fusion – lightweight atomic nuclei combining to form a heavier nucleus, basically the opposite of nuclear fission•Process which powers the stars, which includes our sun – temperature up to 10,000,000oC
•It is a safer energy source than nuclear fission
•Difficult to achieve

Quark – subatomic particle theorized to be among the basic units of matter
Transuranium elements – having an atomic # greater than 92
Plasma – state of matter in which atoms have been stripped of their electrons◦ Exists at high temperatures

Alpha particles consist of protons and neutrons.• An alpha particle is a positively charged atom
that is released in the disintegration of radioactive elements and that consists of two protons and two neutrons.
Beta particles are electrons produced from neutron decay.• A beta particle is a charged electron emitted
during certain types of radioactive decay, such as beta decay.
![Page 14: Chapter 10. Complete the table to indicate how many protons and neutrons are in the nuclei of the following atoms:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e575503460f94b4fd2d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Gamma rays are very high energy.◦ A gamma ray is a high-energy photon emitted by
a nucleus during fission and radioactive decay.
Neutron radioactivity may occur in an unstable nucleus.• Neutron emission consists of matter that is
emitted from an unstable nucleus.• Neutrons are able to travel farther through matter
than either alpha or beta particles.

In nuclear decay, the sums of the mass numbers and the atomic numbers of the decay products equal the mass number and atomic number of the decaying nucleus.
A nucleus gives up two protons and two neutrons during alpha decay.• The process of the alpha decay of radium-226 is
written as follows.

The half-life is the time required for half of a sample of a radioactive substance to disintegrate by radioactive decay or by natural processes.◦ Half-life is a measure of how quickly a substance
decays.

Nuclei are held together by a special force.◦ Protons and neutrons are tightly packed in the
tiny nucleus of an atom.• strong nuclear force causes protons and
neutrons in the nucleus to attract each other. This attraction is much stronger than the electric repulsion between protons.

Neutrons released by fission can start a chain reaction.
nuclear chain reaction is a continuous series of nuclear fission reactions.
![Page 28: Chapter 10. Complete the table to indicate how many protons and neutrons are in the nuclei of the following atoms:](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e575503460f94b4fd2d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
critical mass is the minimum mass of a fissionable isotope that provides the number of neutrons needed to sustain a chain reaction.
Nuclear fusion is the process in which light nuclei combine at extremely high temperature, forming heavier nuclei and releasing energy.

Background radiation - the nuclear radiation that arises naturally from cosmic rays and from radioactive isotopes in the soil and air.
rem - the quantity of ionizing radiation that does as much damage to human tissue as 1 roentgen of high-voltage X rays does.◦ Radiation is measured in units of rems.

is added to a substance so that its distribution can be detected later.
• Radioactive tracers are widely used in medicine.
