Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. 
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
    n = 3 
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours

Which compound in the picture has a central atom with four outside atoms and has at least one nonpolar bond.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is:

B

Explanation:

The compound in Option B is Methane.

Methane is known to be a compound which has two elements, carbon and hydrogen. It has a central atom which is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. It's chemical formula is CH4.

Methane's outer atoms are dipoles and are in the same direction. This makes the overall molecule non-polar. The compound itself has non-polar bonds and it is non-polar itself.

State whether the following statement is true.justify the answer with examples
Ilya [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atoms only achieve complete outer electron shells if they contain an outer shell with 7 electrons before gaining another electron or an outer shell with 1 electron before losing an electron. This is assuming that the octet-rule can be applied to said atom. In addition, the number of valence electrons varies from atom to atom which is why not ALL atoms achieve complete outer electron shells after gaining or losing just ONE electron.

The partial negative charge at one end of a water molecule is attracted to the partial positive
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

             Hydrogen Bond

Explanation:

                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between the hydrogen atom bonded to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule and most electronegative atom (i.e. F, O and N) of another molecule.

In this interaction the hydrogen atom has partial positive charge and electronegative atom has partial negative charge.
