Iodine is classified as a halogen — a subset of very chemically reactive elements (Group 17 on the periodic table) that exist in the environment as compounds rather than as pure elements. The other halogens include fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and astatine (At).
Container must be made up of non metallic elements which can typically covalently bond and must have lone pairs of electrons dative bonds in order to allow further stability.
Solids have least energetic molecules because they are tightly packed.
Answer: The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.
Explanation:
Let the gram of 114 Ag to ordered be 
The amount required for the beginning of experiment = 0.0575 g
Time requires to ship the sample = 4.2hour = 252 min(1 hr = 60 min)
Half life of the sample =
= 21 min

![\log[N]=\log[N_o]-\frac{\lambda t}{2.303}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%5BN%5D%3D%5Clog%5BN_o%5D-%5Cfrac%7B%5Clambda%20t%7D%7B2.303%7D)
![\log[0.0575 g]=\log[N_o]-\frac{0.033 min^{-1}\times 252 min}{2.303}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%5B0.0575%20g%5D%3D%5Clog%5BN_o%5D-%5Cfrac%7B0.033%20min%5E%7B-1%7D%5Ctimes%20252%20min%7D%7B2.303%7D)

The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.
Well they would definitely rip up the flooring and replace it
