Answer:
Lone pairs cause bond angles to deviate away from the ideal bond angles
Explanation:
Bonded electrons are stabilized and clustered between the bonding electrons meaning they are much closer together. Non-bonding electrons however are not being shared between any atoms which allows them to roam a little further spreading the charge density over a larger space and therefore interfering with what would be an expected bond angle
Answer:
the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.
Explanation:
The initial electric force between the two charges is:
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q is the magnitude of each charge
r is their separation
Later, half of one charge is transferred to the other charge; this means that one charge will have a charge of
while the other charge will be
So, the new force will be
So, the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.
Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.
Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.
