How many half-lives must elapse until 84 % of a radioactive sample of atoms has decayed? -g?

Chemistry

Half-life is the time required for decay of 50% of radio-active nuclei.

Thus, when radio-active material crosses 1st half-life, 100/2 = 50% radio-active material is left and remaining 50% is elapsed.

When, when radio-active material crosses 2nd half-life, 50/2 = 25% radio-active material is left and remaining 75% is elapsed.

When radio-active material crosses 3rd half-life, 25/2 = 12.5% radio-active material is left and remaining 87.5% is elapsed.

Thus, 2 <span>half-lives must elapse until 84 % of a radioactive sample of atoms has decayed.</span>

For any terrestrial planet, the would be the coolest layer, and the would be the hottest layer.
Elodia [21]

Crust

Core

Explanation:

For any terrestrial planet, the crust would be the coolest layer and the core would be the hottest layer.

Terrestrial planets or the inner planets made up rocky balls. They have layers that are differentiated.

Typically, they are made up of crust, mantle and the core.

The crust is the outermost layer.

The mantle is the middle layer and core is the inner most layer.

These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

The outermost layer is usually the coldest part.

The innermost layer is the hottest part which is the core

Order the theories from oldest to most recent.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following are the order of point from oldest to most recent

1. Atoms are tiny indivisible particles that make up all mater.

it is Postulate of Dalton's atomic theory. this theory was put forward in 1803

2.  Negatively charged electrons are embedded in a mass of positive charge.

In 1897 J.J Thomson discovered that atom consist of tiny negatively charged particles called electrons that are uniformly spread in +vely charged matrix this model called as plum pudding model.

3. Atoms consist of mostly empty space with a dense nucleus of positive charge.

While doing experiment on gold foil Rutherford presented a model in 1909 and stated that atom consist mostly empty space with dense nucleus.

4. Electrons occupy specific energy levels surrounding a positively charged nucleus.

Niels Bohr in 1913 put forward a model to explain atomic orbitals/energy level. This is a postulate of Bohr model.

5. Electrons move about a positively charged nucleus in clouds that are defined by probabilities.

In 1926 Erwin Schrödinger explain the wave function of electrons and its probability.
