Well, I'm not completely sure, but, I'm going to try and help you: First, you would need to observe the machine, which, would represent the first step. Secondly, you would have to ask yourself a question, when the ball shoots out, which way are you going to hit it? Next, you'd have to hypothesize, which way the ball will come, which way will give you the most points. etc, etc. Then, you'd make a prediction based on your hypothesis, predict the direction that will give you the most points, and which way the ball will fall. Now, when the ball shoots out, you'd gave to test your prediction, then you'd see if your hypothesis was correct. Lastly, you would iterate, and, come up with new hypotheses, and, predictions, for when you play on round two, this would, also, help you get better at the game, just as, when you perform other scientific experiments, you would have a better idea on what would happen during them. I hope this helps!!!
The 131 I isotope emits radiation and particles and has an 8-day half-life. Orally administered, it concentrates in the thyroid, where the thyroid gland is destroyed by the particles.
What is Half life?
The time required for half of something to undergo a process: such as. a : the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive substance to become disintegrated.
Half of the iodine-131 will still be present after 8.1 days.
The amount of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 additional days, for a total of 8.1+8.1=16.2 days, reaching (1/2)(1/2)=1/4 of the initial amount.
The quantity of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 more days, for a total of 16.2+8.1+8.1=32.4 days, to (1/4)(1/2)(1/2)=1/16 of the initial quantity.
If the original dose of iodine-131 was 50mg, the residual dose will be (50mg)*(1/16)=3.124mg after 32.4 days.

A pure substance that contains more than one atom is called a compound.
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Compounds are formed by combination of atoms by a fixed ratio. They have their own characteristic features.
Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.
<u><em>Example </em></u>
H2SO4 which is formed by combination of three different atoms like H, S and O.
<h3>In a solid, molecules are packed together, and it keeps its shape. ... Matter is the "stuff" of the universe, the atoms, molecules and ions that make up all physical substances. In a solid, these particles are packed closely together and are not free to move about within the substance.</h3>
