The correct answer is gonna be C) A lithium cation ion is smaller
A lithium cation has lost its valence electrons, which causes the remaining electrons to be pulled in stronger by the positive charge in the nucleus. As they get closer to the nucleus, the overall size of the atom is decreased.
Answer:
1 gram
Explanation:
Half life = 25 years
Starting mass = 16 grams
Time = 100 years
Number of half lives = Time / Duration of Half life = 100 / 25 = 4
After first Half life;
Remaining mass = 16 / 2 = 8 g
After Second Half life;
Remaining mass = 8 / 2 = 4 g
After Third Half life;
Remaining mass = 4 / 2 = 2 g
After Fourth Half life;
Remaining mass = 2 / 2 = 1 g
