Answer:

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine

Explanation:

Electron affinity of an element is the energy released when an electron is attached to a neural atom to form an ion in its gaseous state.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Electron affinity is similar to electronegativity which is the tendency at which an atom accepts an ion towards itself.

Electron affinity increases across the period and decreases down the group in the periodic table.

In the above option,

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity

Rubidium has the lowest electron affinity

Tellurium and then finally Phosphorus

Helium in this case would have the lowest electron affinity because it has filled orbital and does not require any electron to attain stability. Technically, Helium has the lowest or is expected to have the lowest electron affinity which is close to zero according to quantum mechanics.

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine.

You can check periodic table for their exact values

C. Another radioisotope of americium exists which has an atomic mass of 242.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1 g  

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}

The mass remaining after 48 h  is 1 g.

Adding solvent or removing solute from a soltuion is called __________, and a solution is said to be _______________ if it has m
xenn [34]
Adding solvent or removing solute from a solution is called diluting. And a solution is said to be concentrated if it has more solute. The opposite of diluting is called concentrating. The measure of the amount of solute in a solution is expressed in concentration.

If nitrogen-13 has a half life of 2.5 years, how much remains from a 100g sample after 7.5 years
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.50g

Explanation:

T½ = 2.5years

No = 100g

N = ?

Time (T) = 7.5 years

To solve this question, we'll have to find the disintegration constant λ first

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / λ

λ = 0.693 / 2.5

λ = 0.2772

In(N/No) = -λt

N = No* e^-λt

N = 100 * e^-(0.2772*7.5)

N = 100*e^-2.079

N = 100 * 0.125

N = 12.50g

The sample remaining after 7.5 years is 12.50g

What pattern appears in the vertical arrangement (columns) of the elements in the Periodic Table, moving from top to bottom?
Grace [21]
Idk if this is the information you need but the energy level gets higher the farther you move down the Periodic Table. Every element in a vertical line has the same energy level.
