Answer:
Fluorine is much more reactive than chlorine (despite the lower electron affinity) because the energy released in other steps in its reactions more than makes up for the lower amount of energy released as electron affinity.
Explanation:
Alpha particle is equivalent to B. Helium atom (2 protons, 2 neutrons)
Answer:
91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains
Explanation:
A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt
Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹
Time (t) = 1000yrs
A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs
A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)
lnA = lnA₀ - kt
lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426
A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years
Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.
