 Actually its the parent isotope that undergoes radioactive decay.

So option A and C is not correct.

And in one half life;

what happens is half of the parent isotope decays to form daughter isotopes.


Hence the <u>correct option is B:</u>

B. Half of a parent isotope undergoes radioactive decay to form a daughter isotope.

How does an igneous or metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
ella [17]

Answer: Usually, the rock pieces, called sediments, drop from the wind or water to make a layer. The layer can be buried under other layers of sediments. After a long time the sediments can be cemented together to make sedimentary rock. In this way, igneous rock can become sedimentary rock.

What is a mole and its properties​
klio [65]

One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant. The concept of the mole can be used to convert between mass and number of particles.

Write electron configurations for the following ion: Cd2 Cd2 . Express your answer in order of increasing orbital energy. For ex
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Cd2+ : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 4d10 or [Kr] 4d¹⁰

Explanation:

Before proceeding to write out the electron configuration of Cd2+, we have to obtain the electron configuration of Cadmium (Cd),

Cadmium has an atomic number of 48, this means that a neutral cadmium atom will have a total of  48  electrons surrounding its nucleus.

The electronic configuration of Cadmium is;

Cd: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10

The shorthand notation is given as;

Cd: [Kr] 4d¹⁰5s²

Cd2+ means that it has two less electrons, hence it's electron configuration is given as;

Cd2+ : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 4d10 or [Kr] 4d¹⁰

Aspirin was formed to reduce the irritation of salicylic acid. However, aspirin can still disturb the stomach. Which functional
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Carboxylic acid

Explanation:

Asprin is a drug that contains the carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH), ester functional group (R-O-CO-R') and the aromatic group (benzene ring).

When we take in aspirin, it becomes salicylic acid. This metabolite irreversibly inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Hence the the production of protective prostaglandins is blocked causing inflammation and pain.
