What happens to the half-life and mass of reactants broken down during a nuclear decay reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
melamori03 [73]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The half-life of reactants in a nuclear decay reaction remains constant over time, but the mass of reactants that are consumed decreases.

Explanation:

The half-life is defined as the time in which half of the starting number of radioactive atoms decayed in products. The half-life it is a intrinsec property of the reactant atom and it is a constant. As time passes more and more atoms are decaying through the nuclear reaction so the quantity of the radioactive compounds (reactant) is decreasing.

How are isotopes defined? forms of different elements that have the same number of neutrons in each atom forms of different elem
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer : The correct option is, forms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons in each atom

Explanation :

Isotopes : It is defined as the forms of same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons.

For example : Carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 is an isotopes due to the same number of protons and electrons and different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12

Atomic number = 6

Atomic mass = 12

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 12 - 6 = 6

Carbon-13

Atomic number = 6

Atomic mass = 13

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 13 - 6 = 7

Carbon-14

Atomic number = 6

Atomic mass = 14

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 14 - 6 = 8
