2.3 Isotopes and Their Importance
Isotopes:
Atoms of the same element with same
number of proton but different number of
neutrons.
OR
Atoms of the same element with same
proton number but different nucleon
number.
Example of elements with isotopes:
Hydrogen
H1
1 H2
1 H3
1
Hydrogen-1 Hydrogen-3Hydrogen-2
Chlorine
Cl35
17 Cl37
17
Chlorine-35 Chlorine-37
Uses of isotopes in our daily lives
In the medical field:
Cobalt-60
Used in radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer
Iodine-131
Treatment of thyroid gland
In the argiculture field:
Phosphorus-32
Study the metabolism of phosphorus in plants
Gamma ray of cobalt-60
Used to destroy bacteria in food
Uses of isotopes in our daily lives
in industrial field:
Sodium-24
Used detect leakages in pipes
In archeology field:
Carbon-14
To estimate the age of fossils and artifacts
2.4 The Electronic Structure of an Atom
The first shell : 2 electrons
The second shell : 8 electrons
The third shell : 8 electrons
Nucleus
Example:
Chlorine atom
Proton number of 17
Hence, chlorine atom has 17 electrons
Electron arrangement:
2.8.7
Valence electrons
The electrons in the outermost occupied
shell
Outermost
occupied shell
Valence electron
