Daily Quiz (Half Lives)

1. You have 300 grams of a radioactive

isotope. The half life of the isotope is 40 years. At some time in the future, 37.5 grams of the isotope remain. How many years have passed? 5730 years. A sample of rock contains 10,000 g of Carbon-13. How much of the Carbon-13 will remain after 22920 years?

2. Radioactive Carbon-13 has a half life of

The Bohr Model of the Atom

Devised by Neils Bohr, a Danish physicist Small, positively charged nucleus;

surrounded by negatively charged electrons

Improvement over Grecian, Plum-Pudding,

and Rutherford models of the atoms

Valence-shell model which we will later

learn is more accurate, but the Bohr Model is used to teach elementary principals of atoms

The Bohr Model of the Atom

Also known as the Planetary Model That negatively charged electrons orbited

a positively charged nucleus was not entirely new

Bohrs innovation is that electrons are

arranged according to their levels greater energy

Atoms further from the nucleus contain

The Bohr Model of the Atom

When electrons are excited
Energy is gained

When electrons are de-excited

Energy is released

Energy is released or gained according to

what levels the electrons move to or from

The Basics of Electromagnetism

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the

range of all frequencies of Electromagnetic Radiation through space

Radiation: any wavelike movement The Electromagnetic Spectrum of an

object
The energy gained or released when an

object is excited or de-excited
