1/8=(1/2)^3 and the half life of radon is 3.8days
Half life is the time it takes for half of any amount of a radioactive substance to decay into something else.
Therefore for a sample of radon to decay to 1/8 of its original amount, it would take 3 x 3.8days=11.4 days
The alpha particle is the helium nucleus.
The mass of helium nucleus (⁴₂He) is 4u.
The mass of radioactive atom decreases by 4u. Look at the reaction below:
²²³₈₈Ra ---> ⁴₂He + ²¹⁹₈₆Rn
Answer: A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Answer:
Explanation:
The number of valence electrons tells us the group number of the neutral atom.
The atom has 4 valence electrons.
The atom is in group 4.
Answer: The force on the firefly
The unfortunate firefly hitting the bus does not change the velocity of the bus very much. Technically there is a change, but it's so very small and miniscule that it barely registers. To any casual observer not paying very close attention, they don't notice anything at all. So effectively the force on the firefly is a lot greater since the firefly got the worst end of the deal.
So in short, we look at the velocity of each object and see which velocity changed the most. In this case, the firefly's velocity changed from whatever speed it was flying to 0 when it stops flying all together. That's why the force is greater on the bug.
