s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.
Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.
However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.
Evidence could be gathered in the future that contradicts original theories. <span>Phenomena cannot be proven by conclusive evidence in science because, as of now, the evidence isn't conclusive. It is speculation. Just as a phenomena cannot be proven, it also cannot be disproven. </span>
Answer:
12.50g
Explanation:
T½ = 2.5years
No = 100g
N = ?
Time (T) = 7.5 years
To solve this question, we'll have to find the disintegration constant λ first
T½ = In2 / λ
T½ = 0.693 / λ
λ = 0.693 / 2.5
λ = 0.2772
In(N/No) = -λt
N = No* e^-λt
N = 100 * e^-(0.2772*7.5)
N = 100*e^-2.079
N = 100 * 0.125
N = 12.50g
The sample remaining after 7.5 years is 12.50g
