Isotopes( A+ Grade Assured)

Document Content and Description Below

Vocabulary: atomic number, band of stability, half-life, isotope, isotope notation, mass number, radioactive, radioisotope Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. What parti ... cles make up an atom? _Neutrons,protons,and electrons make up an atom. 2. Which of these are found in the nucleus? _Protons are found in the nucleus. 3. Which particles are charged? _Protons and electrons are charged. Gizmo Warm-up You may think that all atoms of an element are the same, but that is not the case. Atoms of an element can come in several different versions. Some of these versions are stable, while others can break down. In the Isotopes Gizmo, you will explore different versions of the elements. To begin, check that Hydrogen-1 is selected. Check that Show isotope notation is selected. 1. Click the up and down arrows for protons and neutrons and notice what changes. A. Which particle determines the element? The number of protons. B. Which particle creates a different version of the same element? The number of neutrons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. 2. Set protons and neutrons to 6. A. Which isotope was created? Carbon-12 This study source was downloaded by 100000817113117 from CourseHero.com on 06-25-2021 10:09:59 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/38503341/IsotopesSEdocx/ This study resource was shared via C [Show More]
