Answer:
The alkali metals consist of the chemical elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and francium. Together with hydrogen, they constitute group 1, which lies in the s-block of the periodic table
The alkali metals are all shiny, soft, highly reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure and readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge +1.
This is caused by convection- I think
–3568.0 kJ/mol * 1.411 g / 115.27 g/mol = -43.67 kJ<span>

Not 100% sure about my answer
(1) 36 days is 8 half-life periods,
so 24mg becomes 24mg times (1/2)^8 = 24 mg/256 = 0.094 mg
(2) 9.6/1.2 = 8, which means three half-life periods went by.
At the end of 4.5 days, there were 4.8 mg
At the end of 9.0 days, there were 2.4 mg
At the end of 13.5 days, there were 1.2 mg
(3) The activity is proportional to the amount of radioactive material remaining,
so after two half-life periods, the activity should be 1/4 of what it originally was.
So the initial activity was probably 12.0 Ci
