Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are bonds between to atoms that share a pair of electrons, there are three kinds of covalent bonds but I'll describe only two:

Covalent non polar bond: is a covalent bond between two elements of the same element. Ex two hydrogens, two chlorine, two oxygenes, etc.

Covalent polar bond: is a covalent bond between 2 elements of different elements, for example: hydrogen and chlorine or nitrogen, they are polar because on of the element that form it is smaller than the other one, then a partial positive and a partial negative charge is formed.

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.

The half-life for the radioactive decay of ce−141 is 32.5 days. if a sample has an activity of 3.8 μci after 162.5 d have elapse

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer : 121.5 μCi

Explanation : We have Ce-141 half life given as 32.5 days so if the activity is 3.8 μci after 162.5 days of time elapsed we have to find the initial activity.

We can use this formula;

 $\frac{N}{ N_{0} } = e^{-( \frac{0.693 X T_{2} }{T_{1}})$

3.8 / $N_{0}$ = $e^$ ((0.693 X 162.5 ) / 32.5) = 121.5

On solving we get, The initial activity as 121.5 μci
