<h3>Answer:</h3>

2000 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms

Time taken for the decay 3200 years

We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.

We need to know the half life of Radium

  • Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
  • Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
  • Therefore, using the formula;

Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n

where n is the number of half lives

n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years

 = 2

Therefore;

Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2

                                = 8000 × 0.25

                                 = 2000 atoms

Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.

Different measurements are expressed in different units. Choose the correct Sl units for the lo
swat32

Answer:

The SI units for measuring the velocity of the car: meters per second (m/s)

The Sl units for measuring the acceleration of the car: meters per second squared  (m/s^2)

The SI units for measuring force:  Newton (N)

The SI units for measuring mass: kilograms (kg)

Explanation:

Système international (SI) or International System of Units consist of a list of unit measurement that mostly used by scientist. The scientist from a different country might use different unit that makes them have to convert the result of each other. The usage of the same unit measurement will help the scientist to read that publication easier, make it easier to share and discuss any topic. The unit used is metric since the decimal system also makes the conversion of a unit easier.

How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or

a neutron.

Explanation:

When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.

Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom

Protons are positively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges.

  • The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is \frac{1}{1840}
  • This is a very small value
  • Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
  • Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
  • Neutrons weigh  1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg

We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
