Method:
1) Find the atomic number in a periodic table: the number of electrons equal the atomic number
2) Use Aufbau rule
Element atomic number electron configuration

So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.
A teacher uses a bow and arrow to demonstrate accuracy and precision. she shoots several arrows, aiming at the exact center of the target each time. thedrawing below shows where her arrows hit the target.
<span> The statement that best describes her shots is
