Answer:

If the protons in the atom outnumber the electrons, the isotope has more positive charges than negative charges but If the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons, the ion charge will be negative.

The charge of an isotope is defined by how many more protons there are than electrons.

Or the other way around.

For example if there are 4 protons and 2 electrons, the ion charge is +2 because there are more protons.

If there are 4 electrons and 2 protons, the ion charge is -2 because there are more electrons.

Answer:

Option E, Half life = $2.96\times 10^3\ s$

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = $2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s$

So, the correct option is option E.

Isotope b has a half-life of 3 days. a scientist measures out 100 grams of this substance. after 6 days has passed, the scientis

Brilliant_brown [7]

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.
