Answer:
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of elements that have the same atomic number but different mass number hence ISOTOPY. Radioactive Isotopes on the other hand are unstable as they either undergo Alpha decay, beta decay or gamma decay compared to stable isotopes.
Radioactive elements decay at varyinf rates as such the rate of radioactive decay is used in the characterization of radioactive element and mostly expressed in terms of the half life of the radioactive elements.
Half life is the time taken for half of the total atoms of an elements to decay into half of its initial sizes. for example, the half life of radium-226 is 1622 years, it implies that if we have 1000000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622years, 500000 would have disintegrated. These phenomenon can never be experienced by stable isotopes as such they can not be used in carbon dating techniques. reason why uranium-238 is mostly and commonly used in the earth crust to estimate the ages of rocks because it has a half life of 4.5 x 10^9 years.
And also, the radioactive isotopes of most common light element are short, they have very short half life (few days or weeks) and they decay rapidly to vanshing point, as such, they are not found in nature to any reasonable extent.
D.
The main properties of water are its polarity, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, high specific heat, and evaporative cooling.
Answer:
Wt. Avg. Atomic Weight => 63.35457 amu
Explanation:
Given Isotopic %Abundance fractional Wt Avg
At. Mass (amu) abundance contribution
Cu-63 62.93 69.09 0.6909 43.4783
Cu-65 64.9278 20.0668 0.200668 20.0668
Wt Average of all isotopes = ∑Wt Avg Contributions
= 43.4783 amu + 20.0668 amu = 63.35457 amu
because of its milk-like appearance. ... Since the dissociation of this small amount of dissolved magnesium hydroxide is complete, magnesium hydroxide is considered a strong electrolyte. Its low solubility makes it a weak base.
the name will be sulfate etc..
