Answer:
X is Be
Y is B
Z is O
Explanation:
In order to understand the solution, we need to that the an element form a bond based on
1 The number of valence electron available in its atom
2 The number of electron it require to attains its stable state i.e its Octet state
The number of valence electron for each of the option are
F = 7, N = 5 , O = 6 , C = 4 , B = 3 , Be = 2
Considering the first element
We see that X is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2 Cl as Cl only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state
Now looking option we can see that Be has two valence electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the electron so the correct option for this question is Be
Considering the second element
We see that Y is donating three valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 3 Cl as Cl only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state
Now looking option we can see that B has three valence electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the valence electron so the correct option for this question is B
Considering the second element
We see that Z is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2 Cl as Cl only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state, also Z has 2 lone-pair valence electron
Now looking at the option we can see that O has 6 valence electron so if it donates 2 valence electron it will still be left with 4 - pair of electron
Therefore the correct option to this question is O
The half-life of the substance is 3.106 years.
<h3>What is the formula for exponential decay?</h3>- The exponential decline, which is a rapid reduction over time, can be calculated with the use of the exponential decay formula.
- The exponential decay formula is used to determine population decay, half-life, radioactivity decay, and other phenomena.
- The general form is F(x) = a.
Here,
a = the initial amount of substance
1-r is the decay rate
x = time span
The equation is given in its correct form as follows:
a = ×
As this is an exponential decay of a first order reaction, t is an exponent of 0.8.
Now let's figure out the half life. Since the amount left is half of the initial amount at time t, that is when:
a = 0.5 a0
<h3>Substituting this into the equation:</h3>0.5 =
×
0.5 =
taking log on both sides
t log 0.8 = log 0.5
t = log 0.5/log 0.8
t = 3.106 years
The half-life of the substance is 3.106 years.
