CHEM 312 Fall 2014: Lecture 2 Nuclear Properties

A discussion on systematics of nuclear properties are presented. Mass, mass excess, and mass distribution within the nucleus is presented. Mass excess data are used to calculate energies in decays. Equations for determining nuclear radii are provided. Models that are used to describe the stability of nuclei are introduced. Nuclear shapes and structures are introduced.

CHEM 312 Fall 2014: Lecture 1 Introduction and Chart of the Nuclides

The class outcomes, expectations, and grading are explained. A history of radioelement discovery and radiation research is presented. The Chart of the Nuclides and Table of the Isotopes are discussed and used. Atomic properties, nuclear nomenclature, X-rays, types of decays and physical forces are introduced.

CHEM 312 Fall 2014: Lecture 0 Viewing online lectures

Using the online lecture format is presented. The lectures are available as notes without audio or animation, PowerPoint audio and animation, AVI video, and MOV video. AVI is a Microsoft video format and MOV is used with QuickTime. The use of multiple formats should permit viewing of lectures on a host of platforms.
