1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. matter

Explanation:

When hydrogen atoms collide at very high speeds, the natural electrostatic repulsion that exists between the positive charges of their nuclei is overcome and the atoms fuse, this fusion of light hydrogen atoms produces a heavier element, helium.

<em>In short, nuclear fusion is a process by which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier elements (up to iron), therefore fusion produces new types of matter. </em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The decay of radioactive elements occurs at a fixed rate. The half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for one half of t
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

100 grams of C-14 decays to 25 grams in 11,460 years.

The C-14 isotope is only useful for dating fossils up to about 50,000 years old

If an ancient bone contains 6.25% of its original carbon, then the bone must be 22,920 years old.

Explanation:

We already know that the half life of C-14 is 5,730 years. After the first half life, we have 50 grams remaining. This takes 5,730 years. After the second half life (11,460 years now gone) we have 25 grams of C-14  left.

If a fossil material is  older than 50,000 years an undetectable amount of 14C is left in the sample hence Carbon-14 is no longer suitable for dating the sample.

From;

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (No/0.0625No)

Where;

t = time taken and No = initial amount of C-14

0.693/5730= 2.77/t

t = 22,920 years

Astatine is a halogen with several isotopes that all have short half-lives. Which of the following combinations of mass number a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Astatine is a halogen with several isotopes that all have short half-lives.

Which of the following combinations of mass number and neutrons are possible as isotopes of astatine? Choose one or more:

i) A = 211, n = 127

ii) A = 210, n = 125

iii) A = 220, n = 134

iv) A = 207, n = 122

v) A = 209, n = 124

Explanation:

The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in an atom.A=no.of protons+no.of neutrons\\=>no.of neutrons=A-no.of protons\\

Atomic number of At(astatine ) =85

That means it has --- 85protons.

Its mass number A=210

Hence, the number of neutrons in At are:

n=A-Z\\=>n=210-85\\=>n=125

Second option:

ii) A=210 , n=125 is the answer.
