What is the half-life of sodium-24? EXPLAIN how you determined your answer.

Chemistry
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
8 0
Half-life is basically how long it takes for a radioactive molecule to get to 1/2 of its original mass.

so if sodium 24 mass was 5g and it's half life was 24years then:

after every 24years 1/2 of 5g would have decayed. so in 48years there will only be 2.5g left.

15. In the image given below, magnesium metal is coiled as a thin ribbon. What property of metal is exhibited by it? A Ductility
Sholpan [36]

Answer: The property of magnesium that is exhibited by it is DUCTILITY. The correct option is A.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a member of the alkaline earth metals. It occurs in nature, only in the combined state, as Epsom salt, dolomite and in many trioxosilicates( IV) including talc and asbestos. They have the following physical properties:

--> Appearance: they are silvery-white solids

--> Relative density: It has a relative density of 1.74

--> DUCTILITY: it's very ductile in nature

--> melting point: it has a melting point of 660°C.

--> Conductivity: They are good conductor of heat and electricity.

Furthermore, DUCTILITY is the physical property of a metal associated with the ability to be hammered thin or stretched into wire without breaking. A metal such as magnesium can therefore be coiled as a thin ribbon without fracturing due to its ductile physical properties.

3. Unlike global winds, local winds (select the two answers that are correct)
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Small-scale convection currents arise from uneven heating on a smaller scale. This kind of heating occurs along a coast and in the mountains. Small-scale convection currents cause local winds. Local winds blow over a much smaller area and change direction and speed over a shorter period of time than global winds.

Maybe that will help you answer the question.

Why does argon exist in nature as individual argon atoms and chlorine exist in nature as 2 chlorine atoms covalently bonded toge
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Argon has 8 valence electrons and no extras, it does not require a bond in order to fill its shells, its satisfied by itself.

Chlorine is missing 1 Electron, if it connects with another Chlorine it will be satisfying both of their needs with a Covalent bond.

What decides if an atom will be a cation or an anion?
JulijaS [17]

The loss or gain of electrons

Explanation:

The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.

A cation is a positively charge ion

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:

 Protons are the positively charged particles

 Electrons are negatively charged

  Neutrons carry no charges

Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.

When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.

When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.
