Answer:
When a reversible reaction happens in a closed container, it reaches a dynamic equilibrium . At equilibrium: the forward and backward reactions are still happening. the forward and backward reactions have the same rate of reaction
Explanation:
The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
Those elements with similar properties are in the same column.
2n² rule:
This rule is used to determine number of electrons in particular shell.
n=1 means K shell
n=2 means L shell
n=3 means M shell
n=4means N shell
The first K shell can hold upto 2 electrons, L shell can hold up to 8, third M shell can hold up to 18and the fourth N shell can hold upto 32 electrons. This rule of arrangement of electrons according to the shell is known 2n2 rule where n means number of shell.
For example: There is one proton in the nucleus of hydrogen atom, which moves in K shell path. It has no neutron.
