Answer:
period 6
Explanation:
If the lanthanides were inserted into the periodic table, they would go into periodic 6.
Their atomic number is between 57 - 71 from element lanthanum to lutetium.
- The elements in this period are 15 in number.
- They are also know as elements in the f-block.
The elements that makes up the series are:
Lanthanum
Cerium
Praseodymium
Neodymium
Promethium
Samarium
Europium
Gadolinium
Terbium
Dysprosium
Holmium
Erbium
Thulium
Ytterbium
Lutetium
Using the exponential decay model; we calculate "k"
We know that "A" is half of A0
A = A0 e^(k× 5050)
A/A0 = e^(5050k)
0.5 = e^(5055k)
In (0.5) = 5055k
-0.69315 = 5055k
k = -0.0001371
To calculate how long it will take to decay to 86% of the original mass
0.86 = e^(-0.0001371t)
In (0.86) = -0.0001371t
-0.150823 = -0.0001371 t
t = 1100 hours
Remember that carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell meanwhile bromine has 7
So i think the lewis structure would be :
Br
C Br Br
Br
Hope this helps
