The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)
The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together.
Answer:
Energy levels
Explanation:
Elements in one row of the periodic table have the same energy levels. A row on the periodic table is the horizontal arrangement of elements. These rows are called periods.
There are 7 periods on the periodic table.
- Each elements on a period begins with an atom having one valence electrons and then ending with completely filled orbitals.
- Elements in the same period are known to have the same electronic shells which is the energy level.
- The principal quantum number of their electrons is the same.
Number of proton present in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element. It determines <span>chemical properties, which is why all atoms with proton count (atomic number) 6 are carbon</span>
Can hold max of 8 electrons

Answer:</h3>
2000 atoms
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given the following;
Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms
Time taken for the decay 3200 years
We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.
We need to know the half life of Radium
- Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
- Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
- Therefore, using the formula;
Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n
where n is the number of half lives
n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years
= 2
Therefore;
Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2
= 8000 × 0.25
= 2000 atoms
Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.
