Answer:

Correct option: a (tetrahedral)

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory tetrahedral arrangement comes when central atom have four electrons pair in the valence shell and only in this arrangement  electron pair will fell less repulsion that is why it is arranged in this way and VSEPR theory electrons pair are arranged in such a manner that they fell less repulsion.

they might have different number of bond pair and lone pair that depens on the number of bonded to other atom.

Hence opion a is correct.

Iodine-131 half life 8.040 how long will it take for a 40 gram sample of iodine-131 to decay to 0.75 grams
otez555 [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To get this, we need to apply the general expression for half life decay:

N = N₀e(-λt)    (1)

Where:

N and N₀ would be the final and innitial quantities, in this case, masses.

t: time required to decay

λ: factor related to half life

From the above expression we need λ and t. To get λ we use the following expression:

λ = t₁₂/ln2   (2)

And we have the value of half life, so, replacing we have:

λ = 8.04 / ln2 = 11.6

Now, we can replace in (1) and then, solve for t:

0.75 = 40 exp(-11.6t)

0.75 / 40 = exp(-11.6t)

ln(0.01875) = -11.6t

-3.9766 = -11.6t

t = -3.9766 / -11.6

<h2>t = 0.34 days</h2><h2></h2>
