Energy and Environment Group Project Problems of urban decay and solutions to HK The running down of the parts in a city which turns it become unsuitable for people to live in is called urban decay. Urban decay leads to the problems in economy (money)‚ society (people) and environment (our surroundings). There have several examples of urban decay. Slum housing‚ provides a poor living condition with overcrowding‚ share outside toilets‚ without hot water and

&ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBERS After reading this section you will be able to do the following: * Define and determine the atomic number of an atom. * Define and determine the mass number of an atom. What is an atom’s atomic number? The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines an element’s atomic number. In other words‚ each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element. For example‚ all hydrogen atoms‚ and only hydrogen atoms

Yafaa Chaudhary PHYSICS 5 NOTES Physics 5 3.5.1 Radioactivity Evidence for the nucleus Qualitative study for the Rutherford scattering. Rutherford directed a narrow beam of α-particles‚ all of the same kinetic energy‚ in an evacuated container at a thin gold film‚ in order to identify the structure of an atom: The α-particles need to be of the same kinetic energy otherwise slow α-particles would be deflected more than faster α-particles on the same initial path. The container needs to be evacuated

ability for a certain energy state of the radionuclide to exist indefinitely until‚ whether spontaneously or because of outside factors‚ it changes to the much more stable Tc-99‚ with a half-life of over 210‚000 years. Technetium-99m is used as a radioactive tracer which can be taken orally or injected and can be used to detect internal blockages with the use of a gamma camera. With such a short biological half-life of one day‚ Tc-99m is well suited for scanning procedures that can collect data quickly

REVIEW VOCABULARY REVIEW radioactive isotope is an isotope whose nucleus tends to release particles‚ radiant energy‚ or both; radioactive dating is a technique for determining the age of a material by measuring the amount of a particular radioactive isotope the material contains. radioactive decay is the release of particles‚ radiant energy‚ or both by a radioactive isotope half-life is the time it takes for one-half of any size sample of a particular isotope to decay. microsphere is a spherical

Materials 200 M&M® candies‚ pennies‚ or other small candy/item with two distinct sides shoe box or other small box with a lid Procedure 1. Place 200 candies in the shoe box‚ lettered sides up. The candies will stand for atoms of a hypothetical radioactive element. 2. Cover the box and shake it vigorously for three seconds. This is one time interval. 3. Remove the

its initial value. The half-life of a radioactive element is the time it takes for half of its atoms to decay into something else. M&Ms were chosen because they all have the same m mark on the on one side. In this lab you will go through predicting and counting the number of remaining "mark-side up" candies that should help understand that rates of decay of unstable nuclei and how it can be measured; that the exact time that a certain nucleus will decay cannot be predicted; and that it takes

Concepts of Radiation Radiation * Emission of energy from an atom and the transmission of this energy through space. * Energy propagated in a material medium or space. * Energy in transit. What are the types of radiation? * Radiation is of two general types in our environment. * They are called non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionization * the energy transferred to the electrons causes them to be pulled away or removed from an atom entirely. * The result is the

Radiometric dating is the process of estimating the age of rocks from the decay of radioactive elements inside the rock specimen. This process utilizes radioactive isotopes to date igneous rocks. These radioactive isotopes have a distinctive number of atoms that present themselves unstable. These atoms will inevitably decay through a series of evolutions. We will take Uranium as example. Uranium will ultimately decay into the stable element lead. The father element being the Uranium and the end
