What electron subshell is being filled for the rare earth series of elements on the periodic table? What electron subshell is be

ing filled for the actinide series?
Chemistry

Answer:

  • Scandium: 3d
  • Yttrium: 4d
  • Lanthanum: 5d
  • Rest of rare earth elements: 4f (<em>they are part of the f-block</em>)
  • Actinide series: 5f

Explanation:

The electron subshell being filled is defined by the differential electron, which is the last electron placed in the electron configuration.

The rare earth series involves 17 elements: scandium, yttrium and 15  lanthanides. The subshell filled for these elements are:

  • Scandium: 3d
  • Yttrium: 4d
  • Lanthanum: 5d
  • Rest of rare earth elements: 4f (<em>they are part of the f-block</em>)

The actinide series includes 15 elements. The electron subshell filled for these elements is 5f (<em>they are part of the f-block</em>).

A 5-kg quantity of radioactive isotope decays to 2 kg after 10 years. Find the decay constant of the isotope.k = _____
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)

Explanation:

The exponential decay model of a radioactive isotope is generally given as;

A(t) = A_o(e^(kt))

Where;

A_o is quantity of isotope before decay, k is decay constant and A(t) is quantity after t years

We are given;

A_o = 5 kg

A(10) = 2kg

t = 10 years

Thus;

A(10) = 2 = 5(e^(10k))

Thus;

2 = 5(e^(10k))

2/5 = (e^(10k))

0.4 = (e^(10k))

In 0.4 = 10k

-0.9164 = 10k

k = -0.9164/10

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)
