With reference to radioactive material, half-life is the time required to 50% depletion of initial amount of material. 

Given: Initial amount of radioactive material = 40 g
Half life = 4 days.

Therefore, After 4 days, amount of compound left = 40/2 = 20 g
After 8 days, i.e 2 half-life, amount of compound left = 20/2 = 10 g
Finally after 12 days, i.e. 3 half-life, amount of compound left = 10/2 = 5 g

Thus, 5 <span>grams will remain after 12 days</span>

The distance between the nuclei of two iron atoms is about 4 angstroms.a. Trueb. False
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct option is b. false

Explanation:

The distance between the nucleus of an atom and it's outermost shell is called is atomic radius. The atomic radius of an Iron atom (Fe) is 0.126 nm or 1.26 angstrom. The distance between the nuclei of two Iron atoms will be 1.26 × 2 = 2.52 angstroms.

Since 2.52 angstroms is lower than 4 angstroms, the correct option is false

Answer: Hello the compound is missing but I was able to get the Full question and missing compound . ( compound = copper sulfate )

<em>answer</em> : statement ; 2 , 3 and 5

Explanation:

The true statements regarding the coordination compound ( copper sulfate ) are :

  • The ligand must have at least one unshared pair of valence electrons in order to covalently bond with transition metal in the coordination compound ( statement 2 )
  • Ethanol was used during crystallization of the coordination compound because the compound is soluble in ethanol ( statement 3 )
  • The colors of many coordination compounds are the result of light absorption by the d electrons on the transition metal ( statement 5 )

During the coordination of compounds dative bonds exits between the transition metals and the Ligands molecules
