Answer:

False

Explanation:

Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.

<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>

Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.

1. An ion is a charged atom. A molecule is a neutrally-charged combination of atoms.

2. A molecule is a combination of atoms. It can consist of atoms from one or more elements. For example, an oxygen molecule comprises two oxygen atoms. A compound is a substance made up of a combination of atoms of different elements. For example, water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen.

3. An electron dot diagram is a simple way of representing the bond and electronic structure of molecules. A formula is a written representation of the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule.

4. As above...a formula denotes which atoms are in a molecule and how many. For example, H2SO4 tells us there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms in each molecule of sulfuric acid.

5. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that stems from electrostatic attraction between ions with opposite charges. A covalent bond is another type of chemical bond that involves sharing of electrons between atoms in order to achieve a stable electronic structure for the molecule as a whole.

What is the atomic number of the as yet undiscovered element in which the 8s and 8p electron energy levels?
Andreyy89

The atomic number of the undiscovered element is 168

Element 118 will have just filled its 7p orbitals. therefore the predicted element to fill completely up to its 8 p orbital would have to filled a whole set of s, p, d, f and g orbitals

That's another 2 + 6 + 10 +14 + 18 = 50 electrons

To determine the total number of quantum numbers we have to find

Nml × Nms

we have Nml × Nms = ( 2 + 1 ) × 2

8s + 8P + 7d + 6f + 5g = 2 + 6 + 10 + 14 + 18 = 50

The element right below should be

Z = 118 + 50

   = 168

Hence the atomic number of the undiscovered element is 168

What role do hydrogen ions play in the electron transport chain high?
jeka94
They are pumped across the mitochondrial inner membrane against their concentration gradient (to where their concentration is high); as the H+ ions flow back to where their concentration is low, they drive ATP synthase to form ATP
