Why is radioactive decay considered an exponential process

Chemistry
1 answer:
netineya [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It breaks down in mathematically exponential way.

Explanation:

For example if you have 100 grams, after the first decay, its 50. Then 25. Then 12.5, and so on. Rather than, say, 5 grams being subtracted every cycle, it is dilated by the factor of a fraction, making it exponential.

Write the ground state electron configuration of zn using the noble-gas shorthand notation.
V125BC [204]
Atomic Number of Zinc is 30, means it contains 30 electrons. So, its electronic configuration is as follow,

                                    1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰
As,
          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶  =  Argon
So,
Electronic configuration of Zinc in shorthand notation is as follow,

                                     [Ar] 4s², 3d¹⁰

HCI+CaCO3=CaCl2+H2O+CO2<br>​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2 HCl + CaCO3  = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Explanation:

On the right side we have 2xCl, to get the same amount we will multiply HCl on the left side by 2.

This will give us 2xH on the left side; we also have 2xH on the right side ( in H2O).

On both sides we have 1x Ca; 1x C.

On the left side we have 3XO (in CaCO3), on the right side we have 1O in H20 and 2xO in CO2, so 3x O on the right side as well.

The reaction is balanced.
