Because the atomic number equals the number of protons, which equals the number of electrons, an oxygen atom has eight protons and eight elec- trons. The mass number of oxygen is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. The oxygen atom, then, has eight neutrons, which is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number (16 Ϫ 8 ϭ 8).

  • Chlorine Stable Isotopes in Sedimentary Systems: Does Size Matter?
    Chlorine stable isotopes in sedimentary systems: does size matter? Max Coleman Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Caltech, Pasadena, California, USA ABSTRACT: Stable isotope abundances vary because of size (atomic mass) differences. The chlorine stable isotope system was one of the first described theoretically, but had a slow, disappointment-strewn develop- ment, relative to other elements. Method improvement gave only small, but significant, differences (-1 %.) in compositions of geological materials. Eventually, brines and groundwater chlorides gave larger differences (-5%0). Physical processes like diffusion and adsorption, probably are the main controls of groundwater com- positions. In contrast, the processes producing brine compositions are still enigmatic and need further work for full understanding. Recent work on anthropogenic groundwater contaminants (chlorinated aliphatic hy- drocarbons and perchlorate) shows variations resulting from manufacturing processes; implying possibilities of tracing sources. However, they are subject to microbial degradation, producing much larger fractionations (115%0),but therefore offering better possibility of monitoring natural attenuation. So atomic size is important to give isotopic fractionation and the size of fractionation matters, allowing observation of otherwise unde- tectable processes. lecular and atomic weights by weighing the gases and relating them to the weight of hydrogen.

  • 12 Natural Isotopes of Elements Other Than H, C, O
    12 NATURAL ISOTOPES OF ELEMENTS OTHER THAN H, C, O In this chapter we are dealing with the less common applications of natural isotopes. Our discussions will be restricted to their origin and isotopic abundances and the main characteristics. Only brief indications are given about possible applications. More details are presented in the other volumes of this series. A few isotopes are mentioned only briefly, as they are of little relevance to water studies. Based on their half-life, the isotopes concerned can be subdivided: 1) stable isotopes of some elements (He, Li, B, N, S, Cl), of which the abundance variations point to certain geochemical and hydrogeological processes, and which can be applied as tracers in the hydrological systems, 2) radioactive isotopes with half-lives exceeding the age of the universe (232Th, 235U, 238U), 3) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives, mainly daughter nuclides of the previous catagory of isotopes, 4) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives that are of cosmogenic origin, i.e. that are being produced in the atmosphere by interactions of cosmic radiation particles with atmospheric molecules (7Be, 10Be, 26Al, 32Si, 36Cl, 36Ar, 39Ar, 81Kr, 85Kr, 129I) (Lal and Peters, 1967). The isotopes can also be distinguished by their chemical characteristics: 1) the isotopes of noble gases (He, Ar, Kr) play an important role, because of their solubility in water and because of their chemically inert and thus conservative character. Table 12.1 gives the solubility values in water (data from Benson and Krause, 1976); the table also contains the atmospheric concentrations (Andrews, 1992: error in his Eq.4, where Ti/(T1) should read (Ti/T)1); 2) another category consists of the isotopes of elements that are only slightly soluble and have very low concentrations in water under moderate conditions (Be, Al).

Chromium atoms are assumed to return of these isotopes into the early Solar nebula. Although from molecular clouds plated on old dust, and dust the carriers of the chromium isotopes have not been outside of molecular clouds is sputtered into gas on a fully characterized, the importance of chromium anomalies extends to questions regarding the plane- tary-scale evolution of the Solar System (e.g., [3,4]). In this brief paper, I present a simple model of the evolution of the abundances of chromium isotopes in the evolution of the Galaxy. The goal is to gain insight into the nature of the carriers of the chromium isotopes into the Solar nebula and their relative contributions to the final Solar isotopic abundances.

  • Chromium Isotope Behaviour in Natural Waters
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Ocean and Earth Sciences Chromium Isotope Behaviour in Natural Waters by Heather Jane Goring-Harford Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Ocean and Earth Sciences Doctor of Philosophy CHROMIUM ISOTOPE BEHAVIOUR IN NATURAL WATERS By Heather Jane Goring-Harford The isotopes of chromium (Cr) fractionate during terrestrial oxidation reactions that require the presence of oxygen. The main source of Cr to the oceans is via rivers, and thus Cr isotopic signatures (expressed as δ53Cr) preserved in authigenic sediments are increasingly being used to reconstruct the oxygen levels of ancient environments. However, Cr can undergo various reactions in natural waters that may fractionate Cr isotopes. The contribution of these reactions to authigenic sediment δ53Cr values is not well understood, and this limits the interpretation of δ53Cr values measured in ancient archives. This thesis describes the development of a method to accurately and precisely measure Cr isotopic signatures in natural waters with extremely low Cr concentrations, and evaluates the behaviour of Cr isotopes in water samples from a range of environmental settings. Seawater samples from the Atlantic Ocean Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) were analysed to evaluate whether Cr isotopic fractionation was enhanced under depleted oxygen conditions. Results indicate that the Atlantic OMZ is not sufficiently depleted in oxygen to reduce and remove Cr from seawater, although δ53Cr values (1.08 – 1.72‰) were variable due to adsorption of Cr(III) to particles on the shelf, and hydrological mixing. Black Sea seawater samples that had dissolved oxygen concentrations close to zero were enriched in 52Cr, resulting in a δ53Cr that was 0.38‰ lower than the overlying fully oxygenated waters.

ISBN 91-554-6124-7 36 129 Two long-lived halogen radionuclides ( Cl, T1/2 = 301 kyr, and I, T1/2 = 15.7 Myr) have been studied by means of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) at the Uppsala Tandem Labo- ratory. The 36Cl measurements in natural samples using a medium-sized tandem accelerator (∼1 MeV/amu) have been considered. A gas-filled magnetic spectrometer (GFM) was proposed for the separation of 36Cl from its isobar, 36S. Semi-empirical Monte-Carlo ion optical calculations were conducted to define optimal conditions for separating 36Cl and 36S. A 180° GFM was constructed and installed at the dedicated AMS beam line. 129I has been measured in waters from the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Most of the 129I currently present in the Earth’s surface environment can be traced back to liquid and gaseous releases from the nuclear reprocessing facilities at Sellafield (UK) and La Hague (France).

  • The Isotope Effect: Prediction, Discussion, and Discovery
    1 The isotope effect: Prediction, discussion, and discovery Helge Kragh Centre for Science Studies, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark. ABSTRACT The precise position of a spectral line emitted by an atomic system depends on the mass of the atomic nucleus and is therefore different for isotopes belonging to the same element. The possible presence of an isotope effect followed from Bohr’s atomic theory of 1913, but it took several years before it was confirmed experimentally. Its early history involves the childhood not only of the quantum atom, but also of the concept of isotopy. Bohr’s prediction of the isotope effect was apparently at odds with early attempts to distinguish between isotopes by means of their optical spectra. However, in 1920 the effect was discovered in HCl molecules, which gave rise to a fruitful development in molecular spectroscopy. The first detection of an atomic isotope effect was no less important, as it was by this means that the heavy hydrogen isotope deuterium was discovered in 1932. The early development of isotope spectroscopy illustrates the complex relationship between theory and experiment, and is also instructive with regard to the concepts of prediction and discovery. Keywords: isotopes; spectroscopy; Bohr model; atomic theory; deuterium. 1. Introduction The wavelength of a spectral line arising from an excited atom or molecule depends slightly on the isotopic composition, hence on the mass, of the atomic system. The phenomenon is often called the “isotope effect,” although E-mail: [email protected]. 2 the name is also used in other meanings.
