Answer : The slight excess of mass of the less stable isotopes is converted to energy when isotopes are converted from less stable to more stable ones. Question : Where does nuclear energy come from ?. C-11 6P+5N T½=20min M=11.0114. C-9 6P+3N T½=127ms M=9.031. CARBON = C.

Answer : The slight excess of mass of the less stable isotopes is converted to energy when isotopes are converted from less stable to more stable ones. Question : Where does nuclear energy come from ? C-11 6P+5N T½=20min M=11.0114 C-9 6P+3N T½=127ms M=9.031 CARBON = C Clue : E = mc2 (COAL, DIAMOND) C-14 6P+8N T½=5715y (from N-14 + n) (~4kBq in 70kg man, none in coal) M=14.0032 C-12 6P+6N STABLE – 18% of body mass M=12.000000 C-12 6P+6N STABLE – 18% of body mass M=12.000000 DNA molecule C-13 6P+7N STABLE – 1.1% of C M=13.0034 C-15 6P+9N T½=2.45s M=15.0106 C-18 6P+12N T½=0.09s M=18.0268 C-22 6P+16N T½=9ms M=22.056 CHEMICAL ELEMENTS & ISOTOPES EXAMPLE: CARBON AND ITS ISOTOPES

Answer : The isotope with a short half-life is more radioactive because all its energy is radiated away quickly !! Clue # 3 Powerful radiation for…. ….one minute ? Little radiation for weeks Identical car batteries – both charged to full
