Answer:
Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry, the H-Se bond can be considered almost _____non-polar___ and the molecule is __polar_____.
Explanation:
Looking at the difference in electro negativity of the two elements; hydrogen and selenium, one may be led to the conclusion that the molecule is nonpolar since the magnitude of electronegative between the two bonding atoms is minimal.
However, electro negativity difference alone is insufficient to determine the polarity of a molecule. The structure of the molecule is also considered. Based on the structure of the molecule, it is expected to have a dipole moment. Hence the molecule is polar.
Answer:
Half life is 6 years.
Explanation:
T½ = In2 / λ
Where λ = decay constant.
But N = No * e^-λt
Where N = final mass after a certain period of time
No = initial mass
T = time
N = 0.625g
No = 10g
t = 24 years
N = No* e^-λt
N / No = e^-λt
λ = -( 1 / t) In N / No (inverse of e is In. Check logarithmic rules)
λ = -(1 / 24) * In (0.625/10)
λ = -0.04167 * In(0.0625)
λ = -0.04167 * (-2.77)
λ = 0.1154
T½ = In2 / λ
T½ = 0.693 / 0.1154
T½ = 6.00 years.
The half life of radioactive cobalt-60 is 6 years
Answer:
The second student is right.
Explanation:
The coyote feed on not only phalaropes but many other organisms present in the environment for its survival. There are many other organisms present in the ecosystem such as mice, squirrel, cactus fruit etc. The coyote feeds on phalaropes, the phalaropes feeds on brine shrimp and the brine shrimp feeds on algae for its survival so in this way the ecosystem moves in the forward direction. The coyote feeds on phalaropes so the energy that is present in phalaropes transferred into coyote which only 10 % while the remaining is released in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy.
