You have 300,000 atoms of a radioactive substance. After 3 half-lives have past, how many atoms remain? Remember that you cannot

have a fraction of an atom, so round the answer to the nearest whole number.

The number of atoms that remains after 3 half-lives given that it was originally 300000 atoms is 37500 atoms

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 300000 atoms
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining</h3>

The amount remaining after 3 half-lives can be obtained as illustrated below:

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 300000 / 2³

N = 300000 / 8

N = 37500 atoms

What are the possible values of ml for l=2<br> ​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

-2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Explanation:

There are four types of quantum numbers;

1) Principal quantum number (n)

2) Azimuthal quantum number (l)

3) magnetic quantum number (ml)

4) Spin quantum number (s)

The azimuthal quantum number (l) describes the orbital angular momentum and shape of an orbital while the magnetic quantum number shows the projections of the orbital angular momentum along a specified axis.  This implies that the magnetic quantum number shows the orientation of various orbitals along the Cartesian axes. The values of the magnetic quantum  number ranges from -l to + l

For l= 2, the possible values of the magnetic quantum number are; -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

A steel block has a volume of 0.08 m³ and a density of 7,840 kg/m³. What is the force of gravity acting on the block (the weight
melomori [17]

Given:

volume of 0.08 m³

density of 7,840 kg/m³

Required:

force of gravity

Solution:

Find the mass using density equation.

D = M/V

M = DV

M = (7,840 kg/m³)(0.08 m³)

M = 627.2kg

 

F = Mg

F = (627.2kg)(9.8m/s2)

F = 6147N

You notice that you cannot read your book through a test tube of fluid held against the print, making it so blurred as to be unr
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

b. colloid

Explanation:

Colloids are solutions that are going to have a solute and a solvent, but the size of the particles are bigger than in a solution that is clear. that is the reason that it looks blurred because the particles are bigger.

In the other hand, these particles of the solute are big, but not so big and heavy as in a suspension, so they are not going to precipitate in the bottom.

The movement of the particles are called Brownian movement, and they are the responsible to avoid to settle down at the bottom of the recipient.
