Which of these materials will decay the fastest to one-fourth of its original amount?

Geography
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago

The elements listed in the choices are radioactive materials. These materials are very unstable because of the high neutron-to-proton ratio in the nucleus. Because of this, they spontaneously undergo nuclear reactions by giving off sub-particles in order to lower the ratio. They emit radiation in the form of alpha, beta or gamma. 

Half-life is the length of time it needs to completely react half of the original amount. For example, it would take Bismuth 60.5 seconds to use up half of its amount. Therefore, the lower the half-life the faster the reaction is and the lesser the residual amount will be. With that being said, the answer would be Bismuth because it only takes seconds.

Which of the following societies has the most rigid hierarchy?
solong [7]

Answer: In Medieval Europe, knights pledged loyalty to vassals, who in turn pledged theirs to powerful lords, and serfs labored in the fields.

Explanation:

A rigid hierarchy refers to one where people who are born into a certain position in life, find it quite hard to move from it or rather one where there are different social classes and people had to be classified in one class for the system to work.

The system during medieval times was much like this. Social classes existed that determined a person's worth in society such as the knights, vassals, Lords and Royals. There was also the serfs who were considered the lowest in the hierarchy.
