What was the half-life of a new isotope?

Chemistry
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
8 0
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.

Most atoms have no net charge because they have
Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

Why are changes of state, for example, liquid water changing to steam, not considered to be chemical changes?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A liquid changing to a gas is considered a physical change because it involves a change in one or more physical properties, but no change in the fundamental components that make up the substance.

Describe the movement of electrons when the atom colors by applying ground state and excitement state?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations.The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

If you have 6 moles of reactant A and excess of B and C, how much product E would be formed
pychu [463]
B and C are in excess so amount of E will be determined by A. 

Amount of product is determined by limiting reagents - Always.

Hence 6 moles of E will be formed.

Hope this helps!

the particles that make up a rock are constantly in motion. However, a rock does not visibly vibrate. why do you think this is?
dybincka [34]
The particles are always in motion but not much and the particles are moving slower because said rock is a solid but if said rock was a gas the particles would move much faster and farther this is due to the gaining and loss of energy (i hope that makes sense)
