4 Nuclear Reactions
What You will Learn What nuclear fission is What nuclear fusion is How radioactive tracers can be used in

Vocabulary Nucleus: The center of an atom that contains
the protons and neutrons. Nuclear Fission: A process in which the nucleus
of a atom splits into smaller parts. Nuclear Fusion: A process in which the nucleus
of two atoms combine making a larger single atom nucleus.
Strong Force: forces that hold the nucleus of a atom together.
Old Vocabulary you should know:* Neutrons Protons* Atomic Mass Atomic number

What nuclei can split during nuclear fission?
U-236 is so unstable that it immediately splits into barium & krypton nuclei, several neutrons & a large amount of energy
How are mass & energy related?
Einstein proposed that mass & energy are related & can be changed from one to the other.
How are mass & energy related?
Einstein proposed that mass & energy are related & can be changed from one to the other.
His special theory of relativity says that energy in joules is equal to mass in kg multiplied by the speed of light squared.
How are mass & energy related?
Einstein proposed that mass & energy are related & can be changed from one to the other.
His special theory of relativity says that energy in joules is equal to mass in kg multiplied by the speed of light squared.
Energy (joules) = mass (kg) X speed of light (m/s)2 or E= mc2
What is a chain reaction?
Free neutrons produced by fission can hit other nuclei emitting more neutrons repeating the reaction over and over.

A series of fission reactions is called a chain reaction.
An uncontrolled chain reaction releases a huge amount of energy in a short time & requires a critical mass of starting material to produce more reactions.
1) Which elements are produced from Uranium 236 going through Nuclear Fission Reaction? _____________ and ___________
2) Einstein Stated that ________ and ________ were related to each other.
3) A series of Nuclear Fission reactions are called a ___________.
4) In order for a Nuclear Fission to take place it must reach ____________.

Nuclear Fusion
Splitting one nucleus of U-235 releases about 30 million times more energy than when one molecule of dynamite explodes.
State a relationship for each of the following different sets of ratios:
1 foot; 12 inches 3 feet; 1 yard 1 inch; 2.54 cm 1 kg; 1000 grams 100 cm; 1 meter

Nuclear Fusion
Splitting one nucleus of U-235 releases about 30 million times more energy than when one molecule of dynamite explodes.
In a nuclear fusion reaction, two small, light nuclei combine to form one larger, heavier nucleus.

Fusion combines nuclei & fission splits them apart.
How are temperature & fusion related?
How can two nuclei get close enough to combine?
How are temperature & fusion related?
How can two nuclei get close enough to combine? They must be moving very fast.
How are temperature & fusion related?
How can two nuclei get close enough to combine? They must be moving very fast. All nuclei positively charged Thus repel each other
How are temperature & fusion related?
How can two nuclei get close enough to combine? They must be moving very fast. All nuclei positively charged Thus repel each other KE must overcome electric force to push them
close enough to combine KE increases as temperature increases

either be Fusion or Fission reactions and how they are used in the world.
Second, how do they impact our environment and are they safe to use.
Be prepared to explain your answer to the classroom.
Nuclear Research
How does the Sun produce energy?
The Sun, made mostly of H produces its energy by fusion of H nuclei
2 protons (H-1) fuse to make a H isotope (H-2); then H-1 + H-2 form an isotope of He-3.
How does the Sun produce energy?
To complete the process, 4 H nuclei combine into 1 He nucleus during which a small amount of matter changes into a huge amount of energy.
Fusion on the Sun
The heat & light Earth receives comes from this process.
About 1% of the Sun’s hydrogen has been changed into energy.
Sun has enough H to continue fusion reactions for another 5 billion years.

Radioactive decay
Using Nuclear Reactions in Medicine
A tracer is a radioactive isotope used to find or keep track of a molecule as it moves through your body.
How are iodine tracers used?
If the thyroid gland in your neck is not working properly, you get sick. The radioactive isotope I-131 is used to see if the thyroid is working properly. The I-131 decays giving off gamma rays which can be detected.
How can cancer be treated with radioactivity?
Radiation can be used to stop some cells from growing into tumors.
How can cancer be treated with radioactivity?
Radiation can be used to stop some cells from growing into tumors.
Sometimes a radioactive isotope can be placed inside or near a tumor; other times, tumors can be treated from outside the body.

Sometimes a radioactive isotope can be placed inside or near a tumor; other times, tumors can be treated from outside the body.
The radiation emitted when particles decay can turn nearby atoms into ions.
How can cancer be treated with radioactivity?
If a source of radiation is placed near cancer cells, atoms in those cells can be ionized such as atoms in DNA or RNA which can stop the tumor from growing or even kill it.
How can cancer be treated with radioactivity?
If a source of radiation is placed near cancer cells, atoms in those cells can be ionized such as atoms in DNA or RNA which can stop the tumor from growing or even kill it.
Because cancer cells grow quickly, radiation affects them more than other cells. Patients receiving radiation suffer side effects when it ionizes healthy cells.
1) When radiation is emitted it can cause nearby atoms to be turned into ions?
a) True b) False c) only in some instances
2) I-131 gives off x-rays which can be detected by medical equipment.

3) Radiation can be used to kill ____________ cells in the human body.
4) A __________ is a radioactive isotope used to track molecules.
