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.

Equilibrium constant of a reaction is the ratio of concentrations of the products and the reactants when the reaction is in equilibrium. This value is independent of the concentrations since the conditions are at equilibrium instead it depends on ionic strength and temperature.

First, we write the equilibrium expression.

K = [H2S]^2 / [H2]^2 x [S2]
K = (0.725^2) / [(0.208^2) (1.13 x 10^-6)]
K = 10751545.56 or 1.08 x 10^7

Thus, the answer is A.

Match each term with its correct description:
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon:

a = An organic compound made up of only carbon and hydrogen.

Such as alkane, alkene, alkyne.

Cyclic hydrocarbon:

c = Carbon chain that form rings.

Such as benzene, cyclo heptane etc

Isomers:

d = Compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula.

Alkanes:

e = refers to saturated hydrocarbons, no matter the shape

such as methane, ethane, propane etc.

Alkene:

f = Any hydrocarbon that have at lest one carbon carbon double bond.

such as ethene, propene, butene

Saturated hydrocarbons:

b = Carbon atoms are saturated with so many hydrogen atoms that no more bonds may be formed

such alkanes.

How many elements does barium have to give up to achieve a noble-gas electron configuration?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

2 electrons

Explanation:

Barium is present in group two. It is alkaline earth metal.

It has two valance electrons. In order to achieve noble gas configuration it loses its two valance and get complete octet.

Electronic configuration:

Ba₅₆ = [Xe] 6s²

When it loses two electron it get configuration of xenon.

Chemical properties of barium:

It form salt with halogens.e.g

Ba    +   Br₂    →     BaBr₂

IT react with oxygen and form oxide.

2Ba   +   O₂   →    2BaO

this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,

BaO  + H₂O   →  Ba(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Ba + N₂     →  Ba₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Ba + 2HCl  →  BaCl₂ + H₂

Anyone know the answer to this? Explain if you do, im not sure if i understand what its asking.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

1. Proton = 4

2. Neutron = 5

3. Electron = 2

Explanation:

9 4Be^2+

From the above, we obtained the following:

Atomic number = 4

Mass number = 9

Charge = +2

1. Determination of the proton.

Atomic number is simply defined as the proton number. This implies that:

Atomic number = proton number

Atomic number = 4

Therefore,

4 = proton number

Proton = 4

2. Determination of the Neutron.

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

Mass number = 9

Proton = 4

Neutron =?

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

9 = 4 + Neutron

Collect like terms

Neutron = 9 – 4

Neutron = 5

3. Determination of the electron.

From the question given

9 4Be^2+

The atom has a charge of +2. This implies that the atom has lose 2 electrons. Thus we can obtain the electron as follow:

Proton = 4

Charge = +2

Electron =?

Electron = Proton – charge

Electron = 4 – 2

Electron = 2
