Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. Which of

the following statements about containers A and B is true? Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. Which of the following statements about containers A and B is true? The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A is greater (or longer) than the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B. The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B is greater (or longer) than the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A. The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B is the same as the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is due to the differences in the concentrations of the radioactive isotopes in the two containers of the same volume. In container A, with a higher density of atoms, there is a higher chance of a neutron released in the decay of one atom, hitting another atom and splitting it. This is in comparison to container B that has fewer atoms that are widely dispersed due to the lower density. Atoms in cointainer A will therefore decay faster (shorter half-life) than atoms in container B.

In a compound, such as CH3OH, how determine which is the central atom?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.

Explanation:

A Lewis structure consists of <em>terminal atoms</em> and one or more <em>central atoms</em>.

H can be <em>only a terminal atom</em> because it can form only one bond.

So the central atom must be either C or O.

The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.

So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.

Then attach an O atom to get C-O.

Finally, attach the H atoms.

The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.

The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.

The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.

What are the key characteristics of a synthesis reaction
Crazy boy [7]

Answer is: There are more reactants and one product of the reaction. The reactants may be elements or compounds. The product is always a compound.

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.

In barium fluoride, barium has oxidation number +2 and fluorine has oxidation number -1, so compound has neutral charge.

Second chemical reaction: CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq).

One molecule is produced from two molecules.
