If the nuclear fuel rods are still dripping with nuclear fuel or if its as clean as a baby, it doesn't matter since it can still be harmful to living things in a microscopic form, nothing in the world is 100% clean, even after you take a shower your body isn't even 100% clean, your body is crawling with germs

Technically it's not such a waste anymore but it is dangerous chemicals that could kill others around it.

List six elements with only 1 electron in an s orbital
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Lithium=Li2s^1\\Sodium=Na3s^1\\Potassium=K4s^1\\Rubidium=Rb5s^1\\Cesium=Cs6s^1\\Francium=Fr7s^1

Explanation:

When it comes to electron configuration and orbitals, it's important to first identify what exactly we are trying to identify. Below is a given example:

He1s^2

He=element

1=level

s=orbital

(exponent)^2=electrons

Looking at the periodic table, identify the alkali metal family on the periodic table, or group one elements:

Lithium=Li2s^1\\Sodium=Na3s^1\\Potassium=K4s^1\\Rubidium=Rb5s^1\\Cesium=Cs6s^1\\Francium=Fr7s^1

Notice how each configuration has an exponent of 1, representative of a single electron in their s-orbital.

Why must all chemical equations be balanced?
Lera25 [3.4K]
If the equation is not balanced, you have extra of one substance. If you try to do an experiment, you could wind up with a totally different outcome. Its kind of like baking a cake. If the ingredients aren't the right amounts, you dont get an edible cake.
