The energy required to separate a mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ions
Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
The process of ionization to produce cations is endothermic. For formation of Ca⁺² two ionization steps need be illustrated as follows...
1st ionization step: Ca° + 590Kj => Ca⁺ + e⁻
2nd ionization step: Ca⁺ + 1151Kj => Ca⁺² + e⁻

Net Ionization Rxn: Ca° + 1741Kj => Ca⁺² + 2e⁻
i think the greater the electric charge the atom decreases in size
For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)
Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years
