A potassium atom has a higher proton number meaning that it has more protons and electrons. Due to the Octet Rule, the more electrons an atom has the more shells it has and so will be bigger in size.

B. 11,540

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Nt=25 g

No=100 g

t1/2=5770 years

\tt 25=100\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\2=T/5770\rightarrowT=11540~years

How does velocity and mass affect momentum?
ollegr [7]

Velocity and mass are directly proportional to the quantity of momentum by:

p = mv. Therefore, and increase in either velocity or mass will lead to an increase in momentum and vice versa. Momentum during a reaction is always conserved, meaning that the mass and initial velocity before a reaction will always be equal to the change in mass and velocity produced after the reaction. Kinetic energy after a reaction, however, is not always conserved. For example if a fast moving vehicle collided with a stationary vehicle, and moved together, the overall kinetic energy would be after the reaction, as a heaver mass would be moved by the same velocity causing a decrease in kinetic energy.

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but in physics this is how it is understood.
