For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.
Answer:
D. Malleability
Explanation:
Gold is made up of the element Au and it is a metal.
Pyrite is iron sulfide and it is a non-metal.
- They have very similar appearance to such an extent that pyrite is widely called the fool's gold.
- To distinguish between the two, we simply explore their metallic properties.
- Gold is malleable. Pyrite is not. It will crumble under pressure.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons so to gain a noble gas electron configuration, which has 8 valence electrons and is the most electrically stable, carbon needs 4 more electrons.
Answer and Explanation:
As the temperature of the substances increases, the average energy of the molecules increases, and average energy of attraction between the molecules decreases consequently intermolecular spacing between the molecules increases. As a result, a substance change in succession from gas to liquid to solid.
The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction.
