The amount of time it takes for 1/2 of it to decay or dissapear

this is liike compound interest because it takes the same amount of time to decay 1/2 of it, regardless of the amount

example

lets say half life of element x is 1 year
if yo has 32 grams, after  1 year, it decays to 16g
2 years decays to 8
3 years decays to 4
4 years decays to 2
5 years decays to 1
etc

hope this helps (I'm not the best at chem)

Give the structures of both 1,2 and 1,4 adducts resulting from reaction of 1 equivalent of hcl with 1,3-pentadiene
GrogVix [38]

1,3-pentadiene has two double bonds which are conjugated, which undergo electrophilic addition reaction on reacting with HCl.

The structure of 1,3-pentadiene is shown in the image.

When strong acid such as HCl reacts with 1,3-pentadiene, the electrophilic addition reaction can occur either on double bond at 1,2-position or at 3,4-position. The reaction that occurs is shown in the image.

1. What do producers do, and what is another name for them?
Neko [114]

Producers are the foundation of every food web in every ecosystem—they occupy what is called the first tropic level of the food web. The second trophic level consists of primary consumers—the herbivores, or animals that eat plants. At the top level are secondary consumers—the carnivores and omnivores who eat the primary consumers. Ultimately, decomposers break down dead organisms, returning vital nutrients to the soil, and restarting the cycle. Another name for producers is autotrophs, which means “self-nourishers.” There are two kinds of autotrophs. The most common are photoautotrophs—producers that carry out photosynthesis. Trees, grasses, and shrubs are the most important terrestrial photoautotrophs.  In most aquatic ecosystems, including lakes and oceans, algae are the most important photoautotrophs.
