<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
General formulas used in decay:
T = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Nt=25 g
No=100 g
t1/2=5770 years
Activity series of metals: K,Na,Mg,Al,Zn,Fe,Cu,Ag. Metals on the left are more reactive than metals on the right. For example Zn is more reactive than Fe and can displace him.
Reaction than can occur is: <span>CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s).</span>
Answer:
That is a compound. If it was an element it would either just be Na or Cl.
Reactivity - Reactivity refers to how likely or vigorously an atom is to react with other substances. This is usually determined by how easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy) and how badly they want to take other atom's electrons (electronegativity) because it is the transfer/interaction of electrons that is the basis of chemical reactions.
Metals
Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.
Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group
Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.
Non-metals
Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period.
Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group.
Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron
