Why is chlorine a nonmetal

Chemistry
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
3 0
Well on the periodic table Cl is in the section saying it is a non metal. In addition, it is nonmetls because it is usually a gas while metals are not. Finally, it is a non metal because it usually gains electrons instead of losing them during a reaction unlike metals.

A chemist wishing to do an experiment requiring 47-Ca2+ (half-life = 4.5 days) needs 5.0 μg of the nuclide. What mass of 47-CaCO
NARA [144]

Answer:

5.8μg

Explanation:

According to the rate or decay law:

N/N₀ = exp(-λt)------------------------------- (1)

Where N = Current quantity,  μg

            N₀ = Original quantity, μg

             λ= Decay constant day⁻¹

              t =  time in days

Since the half life is 4.5 days, we can calculate the  λ from (1) by  substituting N/N₀ = 0.5

0.5 = exp (-4.5λ)

ln 0.5  = -4.5λ

-0.6931 = -4.5λ

λ =   -0.6931 /-4.5

  =0.1540 day⁻¹

Substituting into (1)  we have :

N/N₀ = exp(-0.154t)----------------------------- (2)

To receive 5.0 μg of the nuclide with a delivery time of 24 hours or 1 day:

N = 5.0 μg

N₀ = Unknown

t = 1 day

Substituting into (2) we have

[5/N₀]   = exp (-0.154 x 1)

    5/N₀        = 0.8572

N₀  =  5/0.8572

     =    5.8329μg

    ≈     5.8μg

The Chemist must order 5.8μg  of 47-CaCO3

How do you tell if an element is a solid, liquid or gas (ex. Na2S)
svetoff [14.1K]
Solids have a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Liquids have a definite volume, but have no definite shape.
Gas have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.

Hope this helps!
