Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.
c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.
Explanation:
All radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.
Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = time taken for decay process
a = initial amount of the reactant
a - x = amount left after decay process
Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:
Answer:
- They are highly reactive metals
- They have low electro negativity
- They have low ionization energy
- They don't exist alone in nature
- They have low densities
Explanation:
Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.
Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.
Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.
Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.
Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.
Answer:
Ag 0 is the reducing agent.
Explanation:
Reducing -> gaining electrons
Oxidizing -> losing electrons
Ag lost electrons (became more positive) since it went from a 0 charge to a +1 charge. Therefore it was oxidized. Ag+ is the oxidized product. Reactants that create an oxidized product are called reducing agents. This would make Ag 0 the reducing agent in this reaction.
The color of light that will be diffracted at a greater angle from a diffracting grating is THE YELLOW COLOR.
This is because, the degree of diffraction depend on the wavelength of light and light color with shorter wavelength are diffracted at a larger angle than those with longer wavelengths. The wavelength of the yellow color is much more smaller than that of the red color.
