What is the half life of a radioisotope if you started with 1 gram and 0.250 grams is left over after 6 days?

Chemistry

Answer:

3 DAYS

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity of a radioisotope to reduce to half its initial value. It is represented as t1/2

In the question given,

t1/2 = 3 days

Since 1 gram of the radioisotope divides to half and give 0.5 grams = t1/2

Subsequently division yields;

1gram = 0.5 gram in 3 days

0.5 gram = 0.250 grams = 3 days

This is so because after 6 days, 0.250 gram of the radioisotope is remaining.

How does the number of valence electrons determine the type and number of bonds an element forms?​
Advocard [28]
The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. Elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the Periodic Table. ... Nonmetals tend to attract additional valence electrons to form either ionic or covalent bonds.

How do isotopes of an atom differ? how are they the same?
otez555 [7]

Answer: Isotopes of an atom are different because they have different atomic masses and different number of neutrons within their nucleus. They are the same since they will always have the same atomic number/number of protons in their nucleus.
