The empirical formula gives the relative ratio of atoms in each element. Therefore, it simplifies the whole numbers. For example C2H6 can be reduced to CH3 because they share the greatest common factor (2). The answer to this question would be #1. C4H10 can be reduced to C2H5 because 4 and 10 are both divisible by 2. C2H5 can not be reduced any further. All of the other options do not have a greatest common factor making them a empirical formula.
The equation of 5m+4=7m+6 is equal to m=-1
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.
"18) the element with the most stable nucleus and smallest mass per particle is:A) uranium.B)argon C) helium."
Answer:
Neutrons = ( Atomic mass – Atomic number ) ( A–Z )
Protons and Electrons are equal to the atomic number
For example Neon,
Mass number (A) = 20
Atomic Number (Z) = 10
Number of Protons = 10
Number of Electrons = 10
Number of Neutrons = ( A–Z ) = 10
Electronic distribution :
K= 2
L= 8
