Chemical changes: breaking bonds between atoms + rearranging into new compounds. Nuclear Changes: changes in p&n within a nucleus, not between atoms. Half life= time it takes for ? of parent nuclides in radioactive sample to decay. Ex. Element has ? life of 5 seconds left in 1 minutes. So divide 60 sec by 5 sec. = 12. Nuclide: name given to nucleus of a specific isotope that is decaying. Ex. U-238 and U-239. Radiation. Chain rxn: nuclear rxn that becomes self propagating. Critical Mass: minimum amount of original mass undergoing fission to sustain a chain rxn. Nuclear Waste: low level- buried in barrels in the ground (lab wastes, industry) High level- stored in concrete bunkers in ground (spent fuel rods)

ORBITALS AND ELECTRONS Quantum numbers descriptions Quantum number Description Possible values Principal quantum number (n) energy level n=1, 2, 3?. Angular momentum quantum number (l) orbital shape (s, p, d, f) l = 0, to ?n- 1 Magnetic quantum number (m) orbital orientation (px, py, pz) m = -l to +l Spin quantum number (ms) describes spin of electron ms = + ? or - ? Each electron has a unique set of quantum numbers. ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION Electron configuration: describes the location of all of the electrons in an element. e.g. Carbon = 1s22s22p2 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: the
