Metals are solids, non metals are gasses and metalloids are in between metals and non metals. Also, metals have there atoms all close and packed, non metals have there atoms far apart, and metalloids have there atoms either close or far apart. Metals are separated form the non metals in the periodic table.

Answer

7665 years

Procedure

Let N₀ be the amount of carbon-14 present in a living organism. According to the radioactive decay law, the number of carbon-14 atoms, N, left in a dead tissue sample after a certain time, t, is given by the exponential equation:

N = N₀e^(-λt)

where λ is the decay constant which is related to half-life (T1/2) by the equation:

\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

Here, ln(2) is the natural logarithm of 2.

The percent of carbon-14 remaining after time t is given by N/N₀.

Using the first equation, we can determine λt.

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,720 years, thus, we can calculate λ using the second equation, and then find t.

\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{5720}=1.211\times10^{-4}

Solving the second equation for t, and using the λ we have just calculated we will have

t= 7665 years

What would be the resulting molarity of a solution made by dissolving 21.9 grams of KCl in enough water to make an 869-millilite
viktelen [127]
Molar mass KCl = <span>74.5513 g/mol

Number of moles:

21.9 / 74.5513 => 0.293 moles

Volume = 869 mL / 1000 => 0.869 L

Molarity = moles / Volume

Molarity = 0.293 / 0.869

=> 0.337 M</span>

Which of the following statements are true about metallic bonds?
Alborosie

Answer:

B. They bond identical atoms together

Explanation:

Metallic Bond:  This is the bond that exists among the atoms of the metal.  This is a type of electrostatic attraction between conduction electrons of metallic atom and their positively charged metal ions.

                                        <em>(figure attached)</em>

Example:  

Copper is a metallic element and its atoms consist of metallic bond among their selves.  

Options A, B, D are not correct as all states for a kind of ionic bond formation.

Ionic bond:  

It form by the complete transfer of electron from one atom to other

It is formed among two atoms of different electronegativities.

Also metals are electro-positive and non -metals are electro-negative so they form ionic bond.

Example is NaCl where sodium is a metal and Chloride is non-metal and they from ionic bond.
