Valence electrons is an electron that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond.Also, valence electrons have the ability to absord or release energy in the form of a photon. Valence electrons are in the energy level that is farthest aways from the nucleus. The valence electrons are the ones, that in a chemical reaction, are gained, lost or shared.

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

50 % of the original amount of potassium 40 will be left after one half life or 1.25 billion years

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that the half life is the time for half of the quantity of  substance that undergoes radioactive decay to  disintegrate, thus

we have

half life of potassium 40 K₄₀ = 1.25 billion years

To support the believe tht the rock was formed 1.25 billion years ago we have

N_{(t)} =N_{(0)} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2} } } }

After 1.25 billion years we have

N_{(t)} =N_{(0)} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{\frac{1.25billion}{1.25 billion}  } } }  = N_{(t)} =N_{(0)} (\frac{1}{2}) ^{1 } } } =0.5 of N_{(0)} will be left or 50 % of the original amount of potassium 40 will be left

PLEASE HELP ASAP
Nady [450]

In the so called rain shadow effect we have interaction between all of the four major Earth spheres. When we have a coastal region where there's a high mountain range, the part of the mountain that is facing the sea will differ a lot from the part of the mountain that is on the other side. The water from the sea evaporates. The water vapor makes the air wet. The warm and wet air masses from the sea will come to the coastline, once they reach the mountain they will start to accumulate as they can not pass through it. As they accumulate rainfall appears. The rainfall contributes to a lush vegetation on this side of the mountain (windward side). The rain shadow effect appears on the leeward side of the mountain, and it mostly gets dry, strong, downward winds. These conditions result in drier climate, much less vegetation, and much increased erosion. Thus we can easily see that we have in this case interaction between the hydrosphere (the sea and the rainfall), the geosphere (the ground, soil, rocks), biosphere (the vegetation), and atmosphere (the winds, the clouds).
