The half-life of a radioisotope describes the amount of time required for one-half of the isotope to decay into a daughter atom. After one half-life, 50% remains; after two, 25%, and so on.

To find how many half-lives have passed in 28,650 years, we can divide it by the time it takes for one half-life to pass. This reveals that five half-lives have passed.

HL ———— 1 2 3 4 5
% remain - 50 25 12.5 6.25 3.125

After 28,650 years or 5 half-lives, 3.125% of the original radioisotope remains in the fossil.

The number of electrons in the outermost principal energy level of a chlorine atom is
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

seven electrons

Explanation:

Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.

The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Abbreviated electronic configuration:

Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵

Properties of chlorine:

1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.

2. its melting point is 172.2 K

3. its boiling point is 238.6 K

4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.

5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.

How many electrons may be accommodated in the first three energy levels?
viktelen [127]
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. Some points will be nice
