Answer:

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Explanation:

Half life:

A nuclear half is the time period of radioactive material in which its amount remain halved.

In given question it is stated that the half life thorium-234 is 25 days. Which means after passing the 25 days the amount of thorium must be halved of original amount.

For example,

If the original concentration was 100%, than after 25 days it will be 50%.

After 50 days amount of thorium left:

Number of half life = T (elapsed) / T half life

Number of half life = 50/25

Number of half life =  2

At first half life amount of thorium left = 100/2 = 50

After second half life amount of thorium left = 50/2 = 25

Total amount decayed = 50+25 = 75

Amount left after 50 days = 100-75 = 25

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Define and then describe the difference between a polar covalent bond, nonpolar covalent bond and ionic bond.
Romashka [77]
Polar covalent bond-  a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.

Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.

Ionic bonds- have such  large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.

Would an opah fish be better suited to live in cold water or warm water? explain why
Kaylis [27]

Don't blame me if you get it wrong i'm a dumb but yet successful student

Warm blood gives deep-sea fish a boost, according to Wegner. The opah's muscles and nervous system likely function faster than an equivalent fish with cold blood. ... This fish, the southern opah, lives in colder waters than the northern opah, so it would be harder to keep warm, Wegner said — but even more beneficial.
