Study Notes

Atomic Structure and History

Atoms are composed of subatomic particles
Atoms have mass
Electrons are arranged in shells

Ions and Isotopes

Ions have more or less electrons than the neutral atom
Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons

Radioactive Decay

Isotopes release alpha, beta, or gamma radiation
Radioactive isotopes decay over time, a process that can be measured by half-life

Applications of Radiation

Radiation is used in medicine, for example, to treat cancer
Half-life can be used to determine the age of materials
