Answer: half life
Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:
t= time required
k= disintegration constant
x= amount of substance left after time t
a= initial amount of substance
when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as
at ,
Carbons starting from the left end:

<h3>Explanation</h3>The hybridization of a carbon atom depends on the number of electron domains that it has.
Each chemical bond counts as one single electron domain. This is the case for all chemical bonds: single, double, or triple. Each lone pair also counts as one electron domain. However, lone pairs are seldom seen on carbon atoms.
Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. It can form up to four chemical bonds. As a result, a carbon atom can have up to four electron domains. It has a minimum of two electron domains, with either two double bonds or one single bond and one triple bond.
Starting from the left end (H₂C=CH-) of the molecule:
