A likely application of a radioactive isotope with a short half-life such as Technetium-99 will be as a medical tracer. It will likely be used by a doctor to check the movement of substances within a person's body.

A radioactive isotope with such a long half-life like Rubidium-87 is likely used in the determination of the age of fossils and artifacts found by archaeologists.<span />

The answer is B. "A doctor would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates a quick measurement, and a geologist would use rubidium-87 because a longer half-life means that there is a longer time to measure old rock" on edg

g Alkenes and alkynes are called unsaturated compounds because ________. they have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon c
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

They have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes

Explanation:

Let's compare ethane (an alkane) with ethene (an alkene) and ethyne (an alkyne):

  • Ethane's formula is C₂H₄, while ethene's is C₂H₄ and ethyne's C₂H₂.

As you can see, alkenes and alkynes have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain due to them having multiple bonds between the carbon atoms.

Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and an atomic mass of 23. sodium has __________.
seraphim [82]

Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Sodium has 12 neutrons.

<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>

The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.

The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.
