The answer is 0.62g.
Solution:
From year 1960 to year 2030, it has been 
     2030-1960 = 70 years

The half-life of the radioactive element is 28 years, then the sample will go through
     70 years * (1 half-life/28 years) = 2.5 half-lives

Starting with a 3.5 gram sample, we will have
     3.5*(1/2) after one half-life passes
     3.5*(1/2) * (1/2) = 3.5*(1/4) after two half-lives pass
     3.5*(1/4) * (1/2) = 3.5*(1/8) after three half-lives pass and so on

Therefore, we can write the remaining amount of the sample after the number n of half-lives have passed as
     mass of sample = initial mass of sample/2^n

The mass of the remaining sample for n = 2.5half-lives can be now calculated as
     mass of sample = 3.5 grams / 2^2.5 = 0.62 g

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂

Explanation:

(A) SeO₂

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. The molecule is bent shaped which has an angle of 120°.

(B) SeCl₆

The central atom has 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. The geometry is octahedral in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 90° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

(C) SeF₂

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.

The order is:

<u>SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂</u>
