Answer:

Explanation:

luckily, every phosphorus atom is looking to gain 3 electrons. It's a perfect match. But something to notice though, look how they have a bond with six electrons. That is called triple bond.

Which is a common way for a scientific calculator to show the number below? <br> 8.1 102

Elodia [21]

Answer: 8.1e+2 or 8.1E+2 (in the scientific notation mode), based on that the number given is 8.1 × 10².

Explanation

Scientific calculators use the letter e or E to show the numbers in scientific notation mode.

These are some examples of numbers that require scientific notation and how they are shown.

Number                 Scientific calculator display

6.022 × 10²³           6.022 e+23
5 × 10 -12              5 E -12

So, understanding that your question is about number 8.1 × 10², the scientific calculator could show 8e+2.

Nevertheless, since 8 .1 × 10² is 810, not a long number, if the display is not in scientific notation mode, it could just display just 810,

C. Another radioisotope of americium exists which has an atomic mass of 242.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}$

The mass remaining after 48 h is 1 g.
