WEEK 1 OUTPUT
Read the paragraph then fill in the blanks with the correct word/s.
It all starts with 1. Nebula_, cloud of gas and dust particle in outer space. Due to the
force of gravity, the 2. Hydrogen gas is pulled together and eventually became a
protostar. Nebular fusion occurs at the center of the protostar and becomes stable.
During this time, hydrogen is converted into 3. Helium forming main sequence star.
The size of the star can be average or massive. A massive main sequence star that
runs out of hydrogen fuel will begin to expand and cool down. This is 4. Red Super
Giant, the collective term for massive stars in the universe. The red super giant
continues to fuse with heavy elements and stops when 5. Iron is converted in the core
of the star. At this point, red super giant will become a supernova after hundreds of
years.
There was a time, When i was a little kid. I am brighter like a star in the sky. Im a little
kid that gives light to others. Electromagnetic energy or what we called light that gives
to everyone. As for now like a carbon through iron. It evolves. Every experience that i
take make a change in my own perspective. I think that is my own cycle of life.
Lesson 2:
Concept of Atomic Number that Led to the Synthesis of New Elements in the
Laboratory
What’s More?
Write the nuclear reactions involved in the synthesis of each of the following new
elements:
A. Curium (Z = 96) was formed by reacting Pu-239 with alpha particles - He.
It has a half-life of 162 days.
B.Mendelevium (Z = 101) was formed by reacting En-253 with alpha
particles.
C. Meitnerium Z = 109) was formed by cold fusion which involves the
combination of Bi and Fe nuclides at ordinary temperature
Answer:
A.) 23994Pu + 42He - - - > 24296Cm + 10n Cm
is named after Marie and Pierre Curie who had done extensive research on
natural radioactivity.
B.) 25399 En + 42He - - - > 256101Mv + 10n
Mv is named after Dmitri Mendeleev
C.) 20983Bi +5826Fe - - - > 266109Mt + 10n
