Study Notes
Matter and Energy
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of matter.
- Radiation is energy that is emitted and transferred through matter.
- Ionization is a reaction where radiation interacts with matter, removing an electron from an atom. Ionizing radiation has the ability to remove electrons.
- Radiation Physics is the branch of physics concerned with the interaction of radiation and matter.
- Mass is the quantity of matter within a physical object. It remains constant regardless of location or the form of the matter.
- Weight is the force exerted by a mass in a gravitational field. Weight varies with gravity, while mass does not.
- Energy is the ability to do work. Measured in joules. Examples include potential energy (due to position, like a roller coaster at the top of a hill), kinetic energy (due to motion, like a rolling ball), chemical energy (from a chemical reaction, like dynamite), electrical energy (from electrical charges moving through a wire), thermal energy (due to motion of molecules), and nuclear energy (from within the nucleus of an atom).
Structure of Matter
- Atoms are the basic building blocks of elements. Most of the atom is empty space.
- Protons have a positive charge.
- Neutrons have no charge.
- Electrons have a negative charge.
- Atomic Number (Z): The number of protons in an atom. It defines the element.
- Mass Number (A): The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
Atomic Structure
- Electron Shells: Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels, called shells (K, L, M, etc). The closer to the nucleus, the more energy is needed to release the electron.
- Thomson Model: The atom is a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded within it.
- Rutherford Model: The atom has a small, dense positive nucleus, and electrons orbit it. Most of the atom is empty space.
- Bohr Model: Electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels or shells.
Fundamental Particles
- Electron: Negatively charged particle.
- Proton: Positively charged particle.
- Neutron: Neutral particle.
- Atomic Mass Unit (amu): a unit for measuring the mass of an atom.
Atomic Nomenclature
- Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
Combination of atoms
- Molecules are formed when atoms combine.
- Compounds are formed when elements combine chemically
- Covalent bonds and ionic bonds are the two types of bonds that hold atoms together.
Radioisotopes
- Radioactive isotopes are unstable and decay into a stable isotopes of different elements.
- Radioactive decay releases energy and particles. One example of its use today is in nuclear medicine and radiology.
Types of ionizing radiation
- Ionizing radiation can be further categorized into particulate (alpha and beta particles) and electromagnetic (X-rays, and gamma rays).
Differences in ionizing radiation
- Electromagnetic radiation (such as x-rays and gamma rays) has no mass or electric charge. They are formed by unstable nuclei.
- The difference in x-rays and gamma rays is the origin. Only gamma rays are emitted by unstable nuclei.
Units of measurement
- The measurement for x-rays is Angstrom (10^-10).
