Answer:
Alkali metals
Explanation:
The alkali metals are a group of metallic elements which are present in the first group of the periodic table. In other words, they are present in group 1 of the periodic table. These elements have one electron in their valence shell, the reason why they are placed in group 1.
They ionize by losing one electron to achieve the configuration of the nearest Noble gas or inert gas. Because they need to offset only one electron in their outermost shell, they are very chemically reactive and hence rarely occur in the free state.
Examples of elements in this group include lithium, potassium and sodium. They each have one electron only in their outermost shells.
Answer:
1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life of cesium-137 = 30 year
Mass of cesium-137 = 5.0 g
Mass remain after 60 years = ?
Solution:
Number of half lives passed = Time elapsed / half life
Number of half lives passed = 60 year / 30 year
Number of half lives passed = 2
At time zero = 5.0 g
At first half life = 5.0 g/2 = 2.5 g
At 2nd half life = 2.5 g/ 2 = 1.25 g
Thus. 1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.
The glow emitted by a substance exposed to external radiation is called 'fluorescence'. In fluorescence, a fluorophore is exposed to external radiation, absorbs the energy and emits a form of light or glow. The answer to this question is 'fluorescence'. I hope this helps.
Answer:
<em>Option A. It was delivered by comets that crashed into Earth's surface.</em>
Explanation:
<em><u>Uranium (U) is a chemical element with atomic number 92.</u></em>
<em />
<em>For many years, a large number of scientists have been studying the abundance and origin of the isotopes of uranium in Earth</em>. <u>According to some theories, the Earth's uranium was produced in one or more supernovae</u> (an explosive brightening of a star), in wich, the main process consists in the rapid capture of neutrons by seed nuclei at great rates. <u>Another theory proposes that uranium is created during the merger of two neutron stars</u> (neutron stars are very dense), because, when such dense bodies come closer together the gravitational force cause them to merge, producing huge amounts of hevy metals like uranium.
<u><em>Many analyses have been made of the uranium in rocks of the Earth. These measurements shows that the abundance of uranium is bigger in the crust and upper mantle of the Earth</em></u>.
So, knowing that Earth's uranium was produced through one of these processes, <u><em>the best answer is option A, the uranium was delivered by comets that crashed into Earth's surface.</em></u>
Have a nice day!
The mass of a chemical substance is known as the atomic number or atomic mass
