Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. Therefore, in order to become stable and completely fill its octet carbon readily share its valence electrons with another atom.
For example,
A carbon atom is also able to form a double double with valence electrons of other atom.
Thus, we can conclude that a carbon atom has a strong tendency to share electrons.
Answer:
11552.45 years
Explanation:
Given that:
Half life = 5730 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.00012 years⁻¹
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that:
The rate constant, k = 0.00012 years⁻¹
Initial concentration = 160.0 counts/min
Final concentration = 40.0 counts/min
Time = ?
Applying in the above equation, we get that:-
