What to do this week


Read the unit outline (online) and make sure you know
when your assessments are.
Investigate the eLearning site: there are a lot of resources
on it!
Keep an eye on the discussion forum.
Download the tutorial homework for week 1 and check your
answers with those available online.
No need to do anything lab related before your session in
week 2.

What is Chemistry?
The study of matter and the
changes which it undergoes

Weeks 1-4: atomic structure,


periodic trends, bonding, molecular
shape and acids and bases.

Forces in Atoms
Nucleons are held together by the
Strong Nuclear Force
Only effective over very short
distances
Strong enough to overcome the
repulsion between the protons

Nuclear composition
The composition of any nucleus is defined by two
numbers

e.g.6 C has an atomic number of 6 and a mass


number of 12
A nuclide is an atom with a particular mass number
and atomic number.
Nuclei with the same atomic number but different
14
mass numbers are called isotopes.

Where do elements come


from?
Answer: from hydrogen in the stars by a series
of nuclear reactions

16

Where do elements come


from?
As a star exhausts its hydrogen, it begins
helium burning and so on to fuse heavier
nuclei to form increasingly larger atoms up
to iron.

17

Where do elements come


from?
Nucleogenesis produces nuclides that can
be stable or unstable.
Unstable nuclei decay through a range of
mechanisms involving the release of
particles (
) with high
kinetic energy or of -radiation.
These
high-energy
products
collectively known as radioactivity.

Application: PET scans


Positron Emitting Isotopes (11C, 18F) are generally formed in a
cyclotron, which bombards a stable sample with protons or
deuterons.
These isotopes are often exploited in the synthesis of organic
molecules (drugs, peptides, carbohydrates, steroids, vitamins) for
imaging.
As soon as a positron is emitted it collides with an electron,
annihilates and two rays are formed at 180. It is the rays that are
detected in positron emission tomography (PET).

level of the brain using

function in positron emission tomography (PET)
scans. Identify the missing particles in the following
