6 Short Answer Base your answers to the following questions on the information below. Radioactivity at home You may be surprised to learn that you do not need to visit a nuclear power plant or a hospital X-ray laboratory to find sources of radioactivity. They are all around us. In fact, it is likely that you ll find a few at home. Your front porch may incorporate cinder blocks or granite blocks. Both contain uranium. Walk through the front door, look up, and you ll see a smoke detector that owes its effectiveness to the constant source of alpha particle emissions from Americium-241. As long as the gases remain ionized within the shielded container, electricity flows, and all is calm. When smoke enters the chamber, it neutralizes the charges on these ions. In the absence of these ions, the circuit breaks and the alarm goes off. Indicator lights on your appliances may use Kryton-85; electric blankets, promethium-147; and fluorescent lights, thorium-229. Even the food we eat is radioactive. The more potassium-rich the food source, the more potassium-40 a radioactive isotope that makes up about 0.01% of the natural supply of this mineral is present. Thus, brazil nuts, peanuts, bananas, potatoes, and flour, all rich in potassium, are radiation sources. --Chem Matters April (2 pts) Write the equation for the alpha decay that occurs in a smoke detector containing Americium-241 (Am-241). 26. (2 pts) How is the radioactive decay of Krypton-85 different from the radioactive decay of Americium-241? 27. (2pts) State one benefit or useful application of radioactivity not mentioned in this article. 28. (2 pts) State one risk or danger associated with radioactivity.

7 In the 1920s, paint used to inscribe the numbers on watch dials was composed of a luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) mixture. The powdered-paint base was a mixture of radium salts and zinc sulfide. As the paint was mixed, the powered base became airborne and drifted throughout the workroom causing the contents of the workroom, including the painters clothes and bodies, to glow in the dark. The paint is luminescent because radiation from the radium salts strikes a scintillator. A scintillator is a material that emits visible light in response to ionizing radiation. In watch-dial paint, zinc sulfide acts as the scintillator. Radium present in the radium salts decomposes spontaneously, emitting alpha particles. These particles can cause damage to the body when they enter human tissue. Alpha particles are especially harmful to the blood, liver, lungs, and spleen because they can alter genetic information in the cells. Radium can be deposited in the bones because it substitutes for calcium. 29. (2 pts) Write the notation for the alpha particles emitted by radium in the radium salts. 30. (2 pts) How can particles emitted from radioactive nuclei damage human tissue? 31. (2 pts) Why does radium substitute for calcium in bones? 32. (2 pts) Explain why zinc sulfide is used in luminescent paint. 33. (2 pts) What is the formula for zinc sulfide? Matching (2 pts each) 34. Enter the appropriate number in the blank. Alpha particle Beta particle He H positron e neutron n deuterium 5. β +

8 Balancing (2 pts each) What is the missing particle? 35. Y ZX Th + 4 2He C Y ZX + 0-1e H + Y ZX 4 2He + 1 0n U 4 2He + Y ZX N 0-1e + Y ZX True/Correct the False (2 pts each) 40. A nuclear weapon based on a fusion reaction is more powerful than a fission weapon. 41. A gamma particle is a high energy photon. 42. A beta particle and a positron have the same charge. 43. If a 1.0 g sample of a radioisotope has a half-life of 10 years, there will be 0.5 g of the radioisotope after 20 years. 44. An alpha particle is positively charged. Name the following ions CO SO NO NH Cl -

9 Answers , See Reference Table N which will be provided on the test. 3. 1, it has the longest half-life (3 is true for both and the question how they differ) Am 4 2He Np Kr is a beta emitter, not an alpha emitter like 241 Am. 27. Medical imaging. 28. May cause cancer He 30. Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds. Ionization can either be the adding or removing of an electron from an atom or molecule to form a charge species. If this cause a bond to be broken in a molecule such as DNA, it can cause mutations. 31. Ra is in group 2, and therfore has similar chemistry to Ca since it forms a 2+ ion. 32. It acts as a scintilator. When hit with a particle it cause an electron to be excited to a higher energy level. When the electron falls back to a lower level it give off light. 33. ZnS 34. 1, 3, 5, 4, U N H Th O 40. T
