The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

             A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

             A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

           A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

Answer is: <span>The general rule of thumb is that the smaller a substance's atoms and the stronger the bonds, the harder the substance will be. 
If the distance between atoms is higher, lesser will be attraction between electrons and protons of atoms, smaller distance means stronger atoms attraction.

Explain the process of radioactive decay. What happens during the radioactive decay? What is the result at the end of radioactiv
nignag [31]

1) Radioactive decay is the spontaneous decomposition of the unstable nucleus of an atom.

2) The emission of a particle or a photon.

For example, alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus).

3) The result is usually more stable element with smaller atomic number.

For example, in alpha decay atom transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

For example nuclear fission is radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts and huge amount of energy is released.
