Question: Using a nuclidic chart, write the symbols for (a) all stable isotopes with Z = 60, (b) all radioactive nuclides with N = 60, and (c) all nuclides with A = 60.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The symbols for all stable isotopes with Z = 60 are ND142,ND143,ND145,ND146,ND148.

b) The symbols with all radioactive nuclides with are RB97,Sr98,Y99,ZR100,Nb101,Mo102,Tc103,Rh105,In109,Sn110,Sb111,Te112,l113,Xe114,Cs114andBa116.

c) The symbols for all nuclides with A = 60 areZn60,Cu60,Ni60,Co60,Fe60,Mn60,Cr60,andV60

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The atomic number Z = 60, neutron number N = 60 and mass number A = 60 with a nuclidic chart are given.

02

Understanding the concept of nuclidic chart

A nuclidic chart is a two-dimensional graph of isotopes of the elements, in which one axis represents the number of neutrons and the other represents the number of protons in the atomic nucleus. Each box represents a particular nuclide and is color-coded according to its predominant decay mode.

03

a) Calculation for the symbols of all stable isotopes with Z = 60

According to Appendix F, the atomic number 60 corresponds to the element neodymium (). The first Web site mentioned above gives ND142,N1430D,ND144,ND145,ND146,ND148,ND150in its list of naturally occurring isotopes. Two of these, ND144andND150are not perfectly stable, but their half-lives are much longer than the age of the universe.

Hence, the stable nuclides are ND142,ND143,ND145,ND146,ND148.

04

b) Calculation for the symbols of all radioactive nuclides with N = 60

In this list, we are asked to put the nuclides that contain 60 neutrons and that are recognized to exist but not stable nuclei (this is why, for example,CD108is not included here). Although the problem does not ask for it, we include the half-lives of the nuclides in our list, though it must be admitted that not all reference sources agree on those values (we picked ones we regarded as 鈥渕ost reliable鈥). Thus, we have RB970.2s,Sr980.7s,Y992s,ZR1007s,Nb1017s,Mo10211minutes,Tc10354s,Rh10535hours,In1094hours,Sn1104hours,Sb11175s,Te1122min,l1137s,Xe11410s,Cs1141.4sandBa1161.4s

Hence, all the radionuclides areRB97,Sr98,Y99,ZR100,Nb101,Mo102,Tc103,Rh105,In109,Sn110,Sb111,Te112,l113,Xe114,Cs114andBa116

05

c) Calculation for the symbols of all nuclides with A = 60

From the nuclidic chart, the nuclides with A = 60 that include the list are Zn60,Cu60,Ni60,Co60,Fe60,Mn60,Cr60,andV60.

A neutron star is a stellar object whose density is about that of nuclear matter,21017kg/m3 . Suppose that the Sun were to collapse and become such a star without losing any of its present mass. What would be its radius?

The radioactive nuclideTc99 can be injected into a patient鈥檚 bloodstream in order to monitor the blood flow, measure the blood volume, or find a tumor, among other goals. The nuclide is produced in a hospital by a 鈥渃ow鈥 containingM99o, a radioactive nuclide that decays toT99cwith a half-life of 67h. Once a day, the cow is 鈥渕ilked鈥 for itsT99c, which is produced in an excited state by theM99o; theT99cde-excites to its lowest energy state by emitting a gamma-ray photon, which is recorded by detectors placed around the patient. The de-excitation has a half-life of 6.0h. (a) By what process does99Modecay to99Tc? (b) If a patient is injected with a8.2107Bqsample of99Tc, how many gamma-ray photons are initially produced within the patient each second? (c) If the emission rate of gamma-ray photons from a small tumor that has collected99Tc is 38 per second at a certain time, how many excited states99Tcare located in the tumor at that time?

a. Show that the massMof an atom is given approximately by Mapp=Amp, whereAis the mass number and is the proton mass. For (b) 1H, (c)31P,(d)120Sn, (e) 197Au, and (f) 239Pu, use Table 42-1 to find the percentage deviation between Mappand M:

(g) Is a value ofMappaccurate enough to be used in a calculation of a nuclear binding energy?

A238 nucleus emits an4.196 MeV alpha particle. Calculate the disintegration energyQfor this process, taking the recoil energy of the residual238Thnucleus into account.

Large radionuclides emit an alpha particle rather than other combinations of nucleons because the alpha particle has such a stable, tightly bound structure. To confirm this statement, calculate the disintegration energies for these hypothetical decay processes and discuss the meaning of your findings:
