Define the "half-life" of a radioisotope

Chemistry
1 answer:

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)

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.

For example,   CaCO_{3}(s) + CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)

Hence, expression for equilibrium constant will be as follows.

        K_{eq} = \frac{[Ca^{2+}][HCO^{-}_{3}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}][H_{2}O]}

Since, the concentration for a solid substance is considered as 1 or unity. Therefore, adding or removing a solid will not affect the equilibrium.

Thus, we can conclude that according to Le Châtelier’s Principle, the amount of solid reactant or product present does not have an impact on the equilibrium because the solid does not appear in the equilibrium constant, so adding or removing solid has no effect.

Which statement best describes what is happening in this model?
lapo4ka [179]

The answer is (C) The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.

The explanation:

-The electrons then move freely throughout the space between the atomic nuclei. ... Metals are good conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electron sea are free to flow and carry electric current. Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.

1-Metals are good conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electron sea are free to flow and carry electric current.

2-Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.

3-Metals are shiny. Light cannot penetrate their surface; the photons simply reflect off the metal surface. However, there is an upper limit to the frequency of light at which the photons are reflected.
