RAD 156 Matter

QuestionAnswer
Matter Substance that exists in physical form and has mass; a solid, liquid, or gas. anything that occupies space, has shape or form and has mass.
Mass quantity of matter contained in an object. does not change with gravitational force. does not change if the substance changes form.
Atom Smallest particle of an element that still possess the characteristics or properties of that element
molecule Chemical combination of 2 or more atoms chemically
atomic number # of protons in nucleus
velocity rate of change of its position with time (speed) or an object
acceleration rate of change of velocity with time
inertia property of matter that acts to resist a change in its state of motion
force push or pull on an object, can incite change in state of motion
newtons first law (Law of Inertia) A body will remain at rest or will continue to move with constant velocity in a straight line unless acted on by an external force
newtons second law The force (F) that acts on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by the acceleration (a) produced
newtons third law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
energy the ability to do work.
kinetic energy energy associated with the motion of an object
potential energy stored energy, static position or configuration
work the force applied times the distance over which it is applied.
power rate of doing work.
law of conservation energy may be transformed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
momentum mass in motion
element Substance that is made entirely from one type of atom
compound Molecule that contains at least two different elements.
Dalton element was composed of identical atoms that reacted the same way chemically.
Thomson concluded that electrons were an integral part of all atoms (plum pudding)
Rutherford introduced the nuclear model, which described the atom as containing a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negative cloud of electrons
Bohr a miniature solar system in which the electrons revolved about the nucleus in prescribed orbits or energy levels
protons Determines chemical element
Electrons Binding energy levels
velocity relationship linear
Octet Rule a maximum of eight electrons can exist in the outermost shell of any atom
slides with too much info to fit 21, 22,24, 27, 29
Ionic Bonds one of the atoms gives up an electron and the other takes the extra electron. Ionic bonding is based on the attraction of opposing charges.
Cation An atom that gives up an electron; net positive electrical charge
Anion An atom that gains an electron; a net negative electrical charge.
Covalent Bonds two atoms sharing electrons that then orbit both nuclei.
atomic mass # of protons and neutrons in an atom
Dmitri Mendeleev invented periodic table 1869
ionization Adding or removing an electron from its shell
negative ion electron is added
positive ion electron is removed
isotopes same # of protons but different # of neutrons
isotones same # of neutrons but different # of protons
isobars same atomic mass # but different # of protons
isomers same # of protons and neutrons but different binding energy
Radioisotopes have an unstable nucleus. Through radioactive decay, it is transformed into a new element
Half-life Time required for a radioisotope to decay to one-half of its activity, unique to its radioisotope.
To become stable, radioisotopes release three different forms of ionizing radiation from their nuclei Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Beta Most common type of radioactive decay, Electron created & ejected from nucleus
Alpha Pair of protons and neutrons ejected from the nucleus
a-particles Helium nuclei ejected from nucleus
B-particles electrons ejected from nucleus
x-rays generated outside nucleus
y-rays emitted from nucleus
Sources of Ionizing Radiation (4 natural, 4 man-made) Cosmic, Terrestrial, internally deposited radionuclides, Radon and Thoron. Medical, dental, Consumer Items, Nuclear Power
Cosmic rays originates outside atmosphere, increases with altitude/latitude
Terrestrial radiation deposits of thorium and uranium in earth, geology dependent
Internally deposited radionuclides natural metabolites present in human body (e.g., potassium)
Radon and Thoron originates from earth-based materials (concrete, bricks, gypsum drywall etc.)
largest contributor of man-made radiation Medical: diagnostic imaging (x-ray and CT)
cosmic and Terrestrial annual dose 10-15%
Internally deposited radionuclides annual dose 5-10%
Radon annual dose 40-50%
thoron and man-made annual dose varies
velocity formula (v=) and unit d/t meters per second (m/s)
Acceleration formula (a=) and unit Vf – Vo/t meters per second squared (m/s2)
force formula (F=) and unit MA (mass x acceleration) newton (N)
example of first law in radiology x-ray tube movement when unrestrained
example of second law in radiology changing kvp affects photon energy
example of third law in radiology recoil of electrons in x-ray production
power formula (P=) and unit work/time watts (W)
work formula (W=) and unit Fd (force x distance) Joules (J)
momentum formula (p=) and unit mv (mass x velocity) kg*m/s (kilogram x velocity)
1 newton = 1 kg*m/s^2
1 Joule = 1 Newton x meter
1 Watt = 1 joule/second
