Ok so lets say something takes 20,000 years to get rid of a half life that means in 20,000 years the radioactivity will be half of what it originally was and then in anothor 20,000 years the half of the half of what was originally there and so on. But the only problem is it will never be completely gone.

Here is a chart from Wikipedia and i know oh its not reliable well i checked there sources are correct check if you want.

If you burn 29.4 g of hydrogen and produce 263 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
vovikov84 [41]

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is given as:

H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O

The balanced reaction is:

2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

According to the balanced reaction,

4 g of hydrogen (4\times 1) reacts with 32 g of oxygen (2\times 16).

So, oxygen reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is:

\frac{29.4\times 32}{4} = 235.2 g

Hence, the mass of oxygen that is reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is 235.2 g.

Rank these transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons.
lesya692 [45]

Answer: The given transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons are as follows.

Mn^{4+} > V^{3+} = Ni^{2+} > Fe^{3+} > Cu^{+}

Explanation:

In atomic orbitals, the distribution of electrons of an atom is called electronic configuration.

The electronic configuration in terms of noble gases for the given elements are as follows.

  • Atomic number of Fe is 26.

Fe^{3+} - [Ar] 3d^{5}

So, there is only 1 unpaired electron present in Fe^{3+}.

  • Atomic number of Mn is 25.

Mn^{4+} - [Ar]3d^{3}

So, there are only 3 unpaired electrons present in Mn^{4+}.

  • Atomic number of V is 23.

V^{3+} - [Ar] 3d^{2}

So, there are only 2 unpaired electrons present in V^{3+}.

  • Atomic number of Ni is 28.

Ni^{2+} - [Ar] 3d^{8}

So, there will be 2 unpaired electrons present in Ni^{2+}.

  • Atomic number of Cu is 29.

Cu^{+} - [Ar] 3d^{10}

So, there is no unpaired electron present in Cu^{+}.

Therefore, given transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons are as follows.

Mn^{4+} > V^{3+} = Ni^{2+} > Fe^{3+} > Cu^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that given transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons are as follows.

Mn^{4+} > V^{3+} = Ni^{2+} > Fe^{3+} > Cu^{+}
