Answer:
You cannot make observations if you are 57 seconds late into the lab.
Explanation:
The atomic nucleus can split by decay into 2 or more particles as a result of the instability of its atomic nucleus due to the fact that radioactive elements possess an unstable atomic nucleus.
Now, the primary particles which are emitted by radioactive elements in order to make them decay are alpha, beta & gamma particles.
The half life equation is;
N_t = N₀(½)^(t/t_½)
Where:
t = duration of decay
t_½ = half-life
N₀ = number of radioactive atoms initially
N_t = number of radioactive atoms remaining after decay over time t
We are given;
t = 57 secs
N₀ = 100 g
Now, half life of Nitrogen-16 from online sources is 7.2 seconds. t_½ = 7.2
Thus;
N_t = 100(1/2)^(57/7.2)
N_t = 0.4139g
We are told that In order to make observations, you require at least .5g of material.
The value of N_t you got is less than 0.5g, therefore you cannot make observations if you are 57 seconds late.
It either increases or decreases the melting/freezing point.
Answer:
3) Ionic
Explanation:
The solid formed when a bond occurs between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond. This bond type occurs between a metal and non-metal.
- Magnesium is the metal
- Oxygen is the non - metal
- Due to the large electronegativity difference between the two species, the metal loses electrons which the non-metal oxygen gains
- They both complete their octet and electrostatic attraction leads to the formation of ionic bonds.
