Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.
For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.
Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.
Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
15 = 7 + no. of neutrons
no. of neutrons = 15 - 7
= 8
Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.
Half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required to reduce the amount of substance to half of its initial amount.
In present case, half-life is material is given as 1000 years and initial amount of material is given as 400 kg
Answer 1) Since, half-life of radio-active substance is 1000 years, therefore after 1st half life, amount of the material will be left to half the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 1000 years = 400/2 = 200 kg.
Answer 2) For 2000 years, radioactive material has crossed 2 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/4 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 2000 years = 400/4 = 100 kg.
Answer 3) For 4000 years, radioactive material has crossed 4 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/16 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 4000 years = 400/16 = 25 kg.
The enthalpy of atomization (also atomisation in British spelling) is the enthalpy change that accompanies the total separation of all atoms in a chemical substance (either a chemical element or a chemical compound)
