Answer:

Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶

Explanation:

Calcium belong to group IIA and known as alkaline earth metals.

  • it have two electrons in outer most orbital.
  • these outer two electrons are involve in bonding
  • calcium lose these two electron and form cation
  • cation have 2+ charge
  • calcium have total twenty electrons

Electronic Configuration of calcium atom: ²⁰Ca

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s²

When calcium ion is form it loses two electron and have 2+ charge on it.

and have total of 18 electrons

So,

Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺

the last filled orbital will be 3p⁶

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi
erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

How much of the original amount of an isotope is present after a period of four half lives
vfiekz [6]

After 2 half-lives there will be 25% (1/4th) of the original isotope, and 75% (3/4 th) of the decay product

<h3>What is Half life period ?</h3>

A half life is a measurement of the slope of an exponential decay function.

It is also defined as, the time it takes to halve the concentration of something in a process.

Each half life you will have half of what you had at the beginning of a given half life.
