Chemical would be the correct answer
Answer:
Carbon Tetrachloride
Explanation:
1 Carbon atom, 4 chlorine atoms (hence "tetra" prefix)
Answer:
It is buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
Explanation:
Answer:
copper metal and steel metak
Answer:
There were originally 8 atoms of Potassium-40.
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the original material to decay or the time required for a quantity of the radioactive substance to reduce to half of its initial value.
If the original material formed without any Argon-40, it means that the atoms originally present were Potassium-40 atoms.
Presently, there are 7 Argon-40 atoms for every 1 of Potassium-40, we can deduce the number of half-lifes the Potassium-40 has undergone as follows :
After one half-life, (1/2) there will be one Potassium-40 atom for every Argon-40 atom.
After a second half life, 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4: there will be one Potassium-40 atom for every three atoms of Argon-40.
After a third half-life, 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8: there will be one Potassium-40 atom for every 7 atoms of Argon-40.
Since there are 1/8 atoms of Potassium-40 presently, there were originally 8 atoms of Potassium-40.
