Explanation:
During a chemical reaction, the atoms of the original substances gain, lose or share their electrons with those of the substances with which they are reacting. The reaction creates new substances made up of a new combination of atoms and a different configuration of electrons.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Iodine solution is used to test for starch. A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.
The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.
A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.
The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.
The number of hours required : 37.2 hours

Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :
In binary ionic compounds the name of the cation (Metal) is first, so that’s how you know.
