Answer:

C. It does not participate in a decay series.

Explanation:

From this statement, we can deduce that a radioisotope that forms a stable isotope after it undergoes radioactive decay suggests that it does not participate in a decay series.

  • It could have emitted any form of radioactive particles which can be alpha or beta.
  • We do not know if it has a long or short half life because the value is not given.
  • But since the radioactive decay in one step produces a stable isotope, we can conclude that it did not participate in a decay series.
  • A decay series involves a radioactive decay in multiple steps.

julsineya [31]
Answer is: <span>the charge of the iron in this compound is +2.
Atomic mass of iron is 55,8 g/mol.
Atomic mass of chlorine is 35,5 g/mol.
If compound is FeCl, molar mass would be 55,8 </span>g/mol + 35,5 g/mol = 91,3 g/mo, that is not correct.
If compound is FeCl₂, malar mass of compound would be:
55,8 g/mol + 2·35,5 g/mol = 126,8 g/mol, that is correct.
Oxaidation number of chlorine is -1.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

It has been approximately 6 hours after death.

Explanation:

This is because between 2-6 hours after death, the body starts becoming stiff from top to bottom, then spreading to the limbs. Since there is only rigor in his upper body, that would mean that with normal temperature and body conditions, it would be 4 or 5 hours after death. But since he is obese and in cold temperature, there is slower progression of rigor, leading to the maximum time in the first rigor mortis phase, 6 hours.
