How many half -lives are required for three-fourths of the nuclei of an istope in a sample decay

Chemistry

The half life of a radio-isotope is the amount of time required for half of the isotope to decay into a new element or sister isotope. One half life results in a 50% loss of radioisotope, and two half lives results in a 75% loss. For three-fourths of the nuclei to decay, two half-lives must pass.

Kitty [74]
The number of energy levels to which an electron can jump depends on the amount of energy the electron possesses. Each energy level has a specific amount of energy an electron needs to have before it can be in there. So, if an electron doesn't have enough energy to be in that energy level then it won't jump to that higher level.

One isotope of a metallic element has the mass number 63 and 33 neutrons in the nucleus. The cation derived from the isotope has
katen-ka-za [31]

Given

Mass number of isotope = 63

Number of neutrons = 33

So number of protons = 63 - 33 = 30

Hence atomic number of metal = 30

thus metal is = zinc

now as it is forming cation with 28 electrons it means it has lost two electrons so it must have a dipositive charge

the symbol of metal ion will be

Zn^+2
