Half-life is a time in which the concentration of the substance gets reduced to 50% of the initial concentration. The number of tritium that will be left after 51 years is 0.624 kg.

<h3>What is an isotope?</h3>

Isotopes are chemical substances that have the same atomic number but different atomic mass because they have a different number of neutrons in the nuclei.

The half-life of the isotope, tritium is 12.3 years. Assuming we have 11 kg of substance and a number of years 51 years.

11 \times 2 ^{\frac{-51}{12.3}} = 0.6239 \;\rm kg

Therefore, the number of tritium that will be left after 51 years is 0.624 kg.

given both a nacl and a h2o molecule, explain what type of bond each compound is and justify your reasoning.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

NaCl= ionic bond.

H2O=covalent bond.

Explanation:

NaCl:

Happens between metal and non-metal. since metal needs to lose an electron to get a full outer shell of electrons, sodium (Na) loses one electron and has a full outer shell of electrons.

chlorine is a gas so it needs to gain electrons to have a full outer shell. since it is in group 7, it needs to gain 1 electron for a full outer shell of electrons.

the lost electron from sodium is given to chlorine. this creates ions (a charged particle) so it is Na+Cl-. this creates a strong electrostatic attraction between the elements and causes them to join together in a lattice form.

H2O:

Covalent bonds happens between 2 gases. they share an electron or 2, and the bonds are very strong.

since oxygen needs 2 molecules to form a full outer shell. hydrogen have 1 atom in outer shell so they share the electron with the oxygen atom.

I can't fully explain why this is for H2O, but I hope you understand it.

Why are gases compressible
Kamila [148]

Hi my dear friend,

The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. ... Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

~Thank you

select all that apply... Which of the following have energy stored as chemical energy? nuclear...petroleum...biomass...geotherma
d1i1m1o1n [39]
<span>Petroleum and biomass are burned in combustion reactions, which liberate energy stored in chemical bonds. This is chemical energy. In contrast, nuclear energy comes from the conversion of mass into energy when an nuclear reaction occurs. Geothermal energy comes directly from heat sources underground, with no chemical or nuclear reactions.</span>

Which image exclusively represents the principle of radiation? A) IV B) III C) II D) I
arsen [322]

The principle of radiation protection is to trigger deterministic and stochastic effect.

Explanation:

The main aim of principle of radiation is to prevent the deterministic effects of radiation and reduce the risks of stochastic effects.

There are three general principals of radiation used for dealing with ionising radiation are Justification, Dose limitation and Optimization.

The three basic radiation principles are time, distance and shielding.

The risk of exposure to radiation is measured using the conventional unit rem or SI unit (sievert).
