The document discusses three reactions - nucleosynthesis, fusion, and neutron capture reaction - that led to the formation of elements heavier than iron. It explains that these reactions require a certain amount of energy to proceed. It also provides an overview of elements and isotopes, defining terms like atomic number, mass number, and isotope notation. Elements heavier than iron are formed through nucleosynthesis or neutron capture reactions, while isotopes are formed through these reactions or radioactive decay and can be represented using isotope notation.
Elements and isotopes
- 1. RECAP 3 REACTIONS THAT LED TO THE FORAMTION OF THE ELEMENTS: • NUCLEOSYNTHESIS • FUSION • NEUTRON CAPTURE REACTION • REACTION REQUIRED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ENERGY TO PROCEED
- 3. 1. Describe how elements heavier than iron are formed. 2. Describe how isotopes are formed; 3. Discuss the significance of isotopes to mass number; and 4. Solve problems on percent abundance of elements. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- 5. Over 100 different types of atoms exist and each atom is called an element.
- 6. Atomic mass (A)is the mass of element. Number of protons + number of neutrons Atomic number (z) is the number of protons. Fingerprint of the element
- 7. An element can have different number of electrons or neutrons but always has the same number of protons.
- 8. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number (z) but different mass number (A). Examples: 6 7 8 Li Li Li 3𝑝, 6𝑛 3𝑝, 7𝑛 3𝑝, 8𝑛
- 9. One way to identity the different isotopes of an element is through a symbol called isotope notation. It has four parts: element symbol (X), mass number (A) atomic number (Z) Charge of the atom (e) x U Proton= 92 Neutron=146 (given) 92+146= 238 amu (mass number/atomic mass) Uranium-238 or U-238
- 10. Deuterium & Tritium are isotopes of hydrogen, but they behave chemically, like any other hydrogen atoms. Figure of Atomic structure and isotope notation of the different isotopes of hydrogen. 2.014 amu 3.016 amu Therefore, you can represent hydrogen isotopes as H-1 for protium, H-2 for deuterium , and H-3 for tritium.
- 11. Carbon has three (3) fundamental isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 Carbon-12 or C-12 is the most common and the lightest among the carbon isotopes.
- 12. Example 1: Magnesium has three isotopes: Mg , Mg , Mg . They occur naturally with a percentage abundance 0f 78.6%, 10.1% and 11.3%, respectively. The exact masses of these isotopes are 23.9924, 24.9938, and 25.9898. What is the weighted average of the three isotopic masses? 24 25 26 Solution: (1) Write the following equation: Weighted average= (mass of Mg -24) (abundance of Mg-24) + (mass of Mg -25) (abundance of Mg-25) + (mass of Mg -26) (abundance of Mg-26) (2) Solve for weighted average weighted average= (23.9924)(78.6) + (24.9938)(10.1) + (25.9898) (11.3) 100 = 24.32
