Answer:

<u>2 years</u> to decay to a mass of 50g.

Explanation:

given:

100g of substance with a half life of 2 years

to a mass of 50g

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

                          ln 2             0.693

Half life T1/2 = ----------  =  -----------

                              λ                  λ

where  λ = rate constant

The initial amount of 100 grams is decaying to a mass of 50 grams is half of its initial value.

Therefore, it will take 2 years for the decay.

If the frequency of the photon increases what happens to the wavelength and energy?
kap26 [50]
The energy<span> per </span>photon<span> is proportional to the </span>frequency<span> of the radiation when considered as waves, ie inversely proportional to the </span>wavelength. Double the wavelength<span>, halve the </span>photon energy<span>. This means that long </span>wavelength<span> radiation (radio waves) has low </span>photon energy<span> and so does not penetrate matter.</span>

Name the noble gas atom that has the same electron configuration as each ion in the compound rubidium oxide
Zepler [3.9K]
In rubidium oxide - Rb₂O , the ions are Rb⁺ and O²⁻
Rb is a group one element with one valence electron. To become stable it loses its outer electron to gain a complete outer shell.
Electronic configuration of Rb is - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 5s¹
Once it loses its valence electron the configuration is;
 - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 
The noble gas with this configuration is Krypton - Kr

Oxygen electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Once it gains 2 electrons the configuration is  - 1s² 2s² 3p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Neon - Ne

Identify the element: 6 energy level, metallic, 82 election
Lady bird [3.3K]

<u>Answer</u>:-

Name of element = Lead

Symbol ♾ of Lead = Pb

Atomic no. = 82

Atomic mass = 207.2 amu

No. of protons = 82

No. of electrons = 82

Yes, lead(Pb) is a metallic element and certainly it has 6 electron shells which means 6 energy level.

If you find anything unclear you can ask me...
