Explain how elements are arranged on the periodic table. What does the table tell you when you read it like sentences in a book

DochEvi [55]

Explanation:

In periodic table:

Elements are arranged according to their atomic number in increasing order.
When we move left to right we move along a period.The period in the periodic table tell us about the principal quantum number,(n).
When move from top to bottom we are moving in group. The group in the periodic table tell us about the number of the valence electrons present in the valence shell of the elements of the particular group.

The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Explanation:

The differential equation for decay is

$\frac{dA}{dt}= kA$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dA}{A}=kdt$

Integrating both sides

ln A= kt+c₁

$\Rightarrow A= e^{kt+c_1}$

$\Rightarrow A=Ce^{kt}$ [ $e^{c_1}=C$ ]

The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,

$\therefore A_0=Ce^{0.k}$

$\Rightarrow C=A_0$

$\therefore A=A_0e^{kt}$ .........(1)

Given that the $Pb_{209}$ has half life of 3.3 hours.

For half life $A=\frac12 A_0$ putting this in equation (1)

$\frac12A_0=A_0e^{k\times3.3}$

$\Rightarrow ln(\frac12)= 3.3k$ [taking ln both sides, $ln \ e^a=a$ ]

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{ln \frac12}{3.3}$

⇒k= - 0.21

Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8

and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram

Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)

$\therefore 0.2=1e^{(-0.21)\times t}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-0.21t}=0.2$

$\Rightarrow -0.21t= ln(0. 2)$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln (0.2)}{-0.21}$

⇒ t≈7.66

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Which word or group of words is represented by the word "period" in the term Periodic Table?

leonid [27]

The correct answer is C : energy level.

As you can see in the image of the periodic table presented below, periods are the horizontal columns of the periodic table.
Elements belonging to the same period have the same electron shell, the same number of orbits filled with electrons.
Elements of the same period have similar chemical and physical characteristics
