Experiment #: 1 Date: September 18‚ 2013 Title: Isotopes of Paperclipium Purpose: To determine the isotopic composition of the element‚ paperclipium. Background Information: Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same proton number but different mass number; that is‚ the number of neutrons differ. Isotopes of the same element have the same electronic configuration as they have the same number of electrons. This accounts for the fact that their chemical properties are the same‚ as the

ISOTOPES History of the term: In the bottom right corner of JJ Thomson’s photographic plate are the separate impact marks for the two isotopes of neon: neon-20 and neon-22. The term isotope was coined in 1913 by Margaret Todd‚ a Scottish physician‚ during a conversation with Frederick Soddy (to whom she was distantly related by marriage).[4] Soddy‚ a chemist at Glasgow University‚ explained that it appeared from his investigations as if each position in the periodic table was occupied by multiple

Radioactive Isotopes Radioactive isotopes are any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha‚ beta‚ and gamma rays. Every chemical element has one or more radioactive isotopes. More than 1‚000 radioactive isotopes of the various elements are known.. Approximately 50 of the isotopes are found in nature; the rest are produced artificially as the direct products

the symbol t1/2.Different radioisotopes have different half-lives. The amount of radioactive isotope remaining can be calculated using the equation‚ ln [ (A)0 / (A) t1/2 ] = kt1/2 ‚ or‚ rearranged: ln 2 = kt1/2. A sample data set was provided due to safety concerns. Using the data set‚ a half-life of 14.46 days was calculated using graphical linear regression analysis. Introduction: Unstable isotopes of certain elements spontaneously disintegrate. Their nuclei discharge particles or energy

simple‚ it was revolutionary. Scientists became able to study the actual structure and mass of atoms after the discovery of radioactivity. Soon‚ isotopes were discovered‚ as atoms of the same element which have been built up to have different masses. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to investigate the mass properties and relative abundance of isotopes for the “bean bag” element (symbol‚ Bg)‚ and to calculate the atomic mass of this element.

2-Define Isotopes give two examples of isotopes An isotope is a variant on an element that has a different atomic weight from other variants. Except for hydrogen —this has only a proton. All atoms of an element have the same atomic number. However‚ some of the atoms of that element differ in mass number because they have different numbers of neutrons‚ though they behave identically and have the same number of protons. For example‚ a nitrogen atom has 7 protons and its common isotope has 7 neutrons

Isotopes‚ sub-atomic particles and relative atomic mass Sub-atomic particles A subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom: it may be elementary or composite. In 1905‚ Albert Einstein demonstrated the physical reality of the photons‚ hypothesized by Max Planck in 1900‚ in order to solve the problem of black body radiation in thermodynamics. In 1874‚ G. Johnstone Stoney postulated a minimum unit of electrical charge‚ for which he suggested the name electron in 1891. In 1897‚ J. J. Thomson confirmed
