27.3 Nuclear Decay Processes and Energy of Nuclear Reactions | General Physics
Chad provides a lesson on the various spontaneous Processes of Nuclear Decay and on the Energy of Nuclear Reactions. The spontaneous processes of nuclear decay include alpha decay, beta decay (beta emission and positron emission), and gamma decay. In alpha decay (aka alpha emission), an alpha particle is emitted which lowers the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4. Alpha decay is most common among heavier nuclei. Two forms of beta decay are discussed: beta emission and positron emission. In beta emission a beta particle (i.e. an electron) is emitted from the nucleus along with an antineutrino. The net result is the conversion of a neutron to a proton which is reflected as an increase in the atomic number by 1 with no change in the mass number. In positron emission a positron (the antiparticle of an electron--effectively a positively charged electron) is emitted from the nucleus along with a neutrino. The net result is the conversion of a proton to a neutron which is reflected as a decrease in the atomic number by 1 with no change in the mass number. Gamma decay (aka gamma emission) is simply the emission of a gamma ray which is just a very high energy photon. The overall identity of the nucleus is unchanged. Gamma emission typically accompanies one of the other decay processes that leaves a nucleus in a high energy state.
In a nuclear reaction, there is a conversion between mass and energy (E=mc^2) and this difference in energy equivalence between the reactants and products is called the Q-value. Exothermic reactions release energy and have positive Q-values, while endothermic reactions consume energy and have negative Q-values. For an endothermic nuclear reaction to occur, one of reactant particles must be given some minimum amount of kinetic energy for the reaction to proceed. It is also demonstrated how to calculate this minimum kinetic energy.

27.2 Kinetics of Radioactive Decay | General Physics
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed měsícem
Chad provides a thorough lesson on the Kinetics of Radioactive Decay. Radioactive decay undergoes exponential decay. The rate of decay is proportional to the number of radioactive nuclei, so as that number decreases, so does the rate of decay. The formulas describing the rate of radioactive decay are presented including the decay constant, a rate constant that is characteristic of a nuclide. Ha...

The lesson begins with an introduction to a variety of nuclear particles: alpha particles, neutrons, protons, beta particles (electrons and positrons), and gamma rays. Characteristics for each are provided including mass and charge. Atomic symbols are then reviewed, showing how the composition of a nucleus (number of protons and neutrons) can be...
26.3 Wave Functions and Atomic Orbitals | General Physics
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 2 měsíci
Chad provides a detailed lesson on Wavefunctions and Atomic Orbitals. Chad begins by describing that electrons do not occupy circular orbits as described by the Bohr model of the atom, but actually atomic orbitals. These atomic orbitals are regions of space with quantized energies that are representative of wave functions which are derived as solutions to the Schroedinger equation. The fact tha...

Chad provides a thorough lesson on Time Dilation and Length Contraction, two major points of the Special Theory of Relativity. For observers that are moving very fast (close to the speed of light) time slows down and lengths (or distances) contract in the direction of motion. Chad derives the time dilation formula, including the derivation of the Lorentz factor, and uses that to also derive the...

    Hydrogen Bonding Definition: The strongest type of dipole-dipole interaction. Criteria: Occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. Example: Water (H₂O) molecules, where hydrogen bonds form between the hydrogen of one molecule and the oxygen of another. Dipole-Dipole Forces Definition: Attractive forces between polar molecules. Example: Hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecules, where the partial positive charge of hydrogen is attracted to the partial negative charge of chlorine in adjacent molecules. London Dispersion Forces (Van der Waals Forces) Definition: The weakest intermolecular force, present in all molecules. Mechanism: Temporary dipoles caused by momentary distributions of electron density. Example: Present in all molecules, but especially noticeable in nonpolar molecules like methane (CH₄). Ion-Dipole Forces Definition: Attractive forces between an ion and a polar molecule. Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in water, where the Na⁺ ions interact with the partial negative charge on water's oxygen atoms, and Cl⁻ ions interact with the partial positive charge on water's hydrogen atoms. Importance of Intermolecular Forces Properties Affected: Boiling and Melting Points: Higher intermolecular forces result in higher boiling and melting points. Viscosity: Stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher viscosity. Surface Tension: Higher intermolecular forces result in higher surface tension. Vapor Pressure: Higher intermolecular forces lead to lower vapor pressure. Examples and Applications Hydrogen Bonding: Example: Water (H₂O) exhibits strong hydrogen bonding, leading to its high boiling point relative to its molecular weight. Dipole-Dipole Forces: Example: HCl exhibits dipole-dipole interactions due to its polar nature. London Dispersion Forces: Example: Methane (CH₄) only has London dispersion forces but they increase with larger molecules. Ion-Dipole Forces: Example: NaCl in water demonstrates strong ion-dipole interactions, which are significant in dissolving salts. Ranking Boiling Points Network Covalent Solids: (e.g., diamond, SiO₂) have the highest boiling points. Ionic Compounds: (e.g., NaCl) also have high boiling points. Molecular Compounds with Hydrogen Bonding: (e.g., water, NH₃) have lower boiling points than ionic compounds but higher than those with only dipole-dipole or dispersion forces. Molecular Compounds with Dipole-Dipole Forces: Lower boiling points than hydrogen-bonded compounds. Molecular Compounds with London Dispersion Forces: Typically have the lowest boiling points among molecular compounds. Branching and Boiling Points Effect of Branching: More Branched Molecules: Lower boiling points due to reduced surface area and weaker dispersion forces. Example: Isomers of pentane show different boiling points based on branching. Solubility Principle: Like dissolves like. Polar Solvents: Dissolve polar solutes (e.g., water dissolves salt). Non-Polar Solvents: Dissolve non-polar solutes (e.g., hexane dissolves oils).

    Electronegativity and Polarity Electronegativity: A measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons in a bond. Polarity Rules: Non-Polar Bonds: Identical atoms (e.g., H₂) have no difference in electronegativity. Polar Covalent Bonds: Differences in electronegativity between 0.5 and 1.7. Ionic Bonds: Differences in electronegativity greater than 1.7. Key Bonds and Their Polarities Carbon-Hydrogen Bond: Non-polar (difference in electronegativity = 0.4). Carbon-Nitrogen Bond: Polar covalent (difference = 0.5). Carbon-Oxygen Bond: Polar covalent (difference = 1.0). Carbon-Fluorine Bond: Polar covalent (difference = 1.5, approaching ionic character). Sodium-Chloride Bond: Ionic (difference = 2.1). Exceptions Carbon-Magnesium Bond: Despite being a metal and a non-metal, this bond is polar covalent (difference = 1.3), not ionic. Identifying Polar Molecules Step 1: Look for polar bonds within the molecule. Step 2: Check the orientation of these polar bonds: If the vector sum of bond dipoles cancels out, the molecule is non-polar. If the vector sum does not cancel out, the molecule is polar. Examples of Molecular Polarity Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): Non-polar because the bond dipoles cancel out (linear shape, bond angles of 180°). Carbonyl Sulfide (COS): Polar because the bond dipoles do not cancel out (due to different electronegativities of oxygen and sulfur). Methane (CH₄): Non-polar with no polar bonds. Chloromethane (CH₃Cl): Polar with a dipole moment of 1.87 D. Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂): Less polar than CH₃Cl (dipole moment of 1.6 D) due to the bond angles causing partial cancellation. Trichloromethane (CHCl₃): Even less polar (dipole moment of 1.01 D). Tetrachloromethane (CCl₄): Non-polar as the four polar bonds cancel out. Dipole Moments Definition: A measure of the polarity of a molecule, represented by the symbol μ. Calculation: Depends on the difference in partial charges and the distance of separation.
