Answer:

Reduction in effective nuclear charge due to the filling of 3d sub-shell

Explanation:

Although, according to the trend in the periodic table, the size of shell go on increasing but an anomaly in Group 13 s observed in case of Aluminium and Gallium. Gallium should have a bigger shell configuration according to the trend but it is small as compared due to the first filling of 3d sub-shell by electron as we can see from their electronic configurations as:

Aluminium = [Ne] 3s² 3p¹

Gallium = [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p1

How does an electron reach an excited state
quester [9]

When an electron quickly occupies an strength state increased than its ground state, it is in an excited state. An electron can end up excited if it is given greater energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a close by atom or particle.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

3.106\ \text{g}

Explanation:

t_{1/2} = Half-life of carbon = 5700 years

t = Time at which the remaining mass is to be found = 10400 years

m_0 = Initial mass of carbon = 11 g

Decay constant is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}

Amount of mass remaining is given by

m=m_0e^{-\lambda t}\\\Rightarrow m=m_0e^{-\dfrac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}} t}\\\Rightarrow m=11e^{-\dfrac{\ln 2}{5700}\times 10400}\\\Rightarrow m=3.106\ \text{g}

The amount of the substance that remains after 10400 years is 3.106\ \text{g}.
