K + I - > KI
Potassium (needs to lose 1 electron) responds with Iodine (needs to pick up 1 electron) to fulfill both component's octet, shaping a salt, potassium iodide
This is a similar case for NaCl, simply unique components. Trust this made a difference.
Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.
Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.
Hope it helps
Answer: 20 mg Te-99 remains after 12 hours.
Explanation: N(t) = N(0)*(1/2)^(t/t1/2)
N(t) = (80 mg)*(0.5)^(12/6)
N(t) = 20 mg remains after 12 hours
Il fait plus chaud à l'équateur et plus froid aux pôles car : 1°) les rayons du Soleil sont plus concentrés au niveau de l'équateur et plus diffus au niveau des pôles ; 2°) l'épaisseur d'air composant l'atmosphère, traversée par les rayons du Soleil est plus importante aux pôles qu'à l'équateur.
