Answer:

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

The thallium Subscript 81 Superscript 208 Baseline Tl nucleus is radioactive, with a half-life of 3.053 min. At a given instant,

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: (E) 300 bq

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is represented by $t_{\frac{1}{2}$

Half life of Thallium-208 = 3.053 min

Thus after 9 minutes , three half lives will be passed, after ist half life, the activity would be reduced to half of original i.e. $\frac{2400}{2}=1200$ , after second half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 1200 i.e. $\frac{1200}{2}=600$ , and after third half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 600 i.e. $\frac{600}{2}=300$ ,

Thus the activity 9 minutes later is 300 bq.

In a sample containing 100 atoms of X, 70 were found to be 9X while 30 were 11X isotopes. Determine the average relative atomic

Burka [1]

The average relative atomic mass of a sample containing 100 atoms of X, 70 were found to be 9X while 30 were 11X isotopes is 9.6g.

<h3>What is Atomic mass? </h3>

Atomic mass is defined as the whole mass of an atom.

It is also defined as the sum of atomic number and number of neutrons.

Atomic mass = Atomic number + neutrons

<h3>What is Isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are the those element which have same atomic number but have different mass number and number of neutrons.

The average relative atomic mass can be calculated as

mass of isotopes/ mass of sample

mass of all isotopes = (70 × 9X) + (30 × 11X)

=(630 + 330) X

= 960X

Average relative atomic mass = 960X/ 100 X

= 9.6 g

Thus, we concluded that the average relative atomic mass of a sample containing 100 atoms of X, 70 were found to be 9X while 30 were 11X isotopes is 9.6g.
