Answer:
Electrons occupy orbitals with the lowest energy first.
Explanation:
The Aufbau Principle states that electrons will fill the atomic orbitals with the lowest energy levels first, before occupying others with higher energy levels.
For example, electrons will fill the 1s orbital before filling the 2s orbital.
Answer:
TRIAL 1:
For “Event 0”, put 100 pennies in a large plastic or cardboard container.
For “Event 1”, shake the container 10 times. This represents a radioactive decay event.
Open the lid. Remove all the pennies that have turned up tails. Record the number removed.
Record the number of radioactive pennies remaining.
For “Event 2”, replace the lid and repeat steps 2 to 4.
Repeat for Events 3, 4, 5 … until no pennies remain in the container.
TRIAL 2:
Repeat Trial 1, starting anew with 100 pennies.
Calculate for each event the average number of radioactive pennies that remain after shaking.
Plot the average number of radioactive pennies after shaking vs. the Event Number. Start with Event 0, when all the pennies are radioactive. Estimate the half-life — the number of events required for half of the pennies to decay.

Answer:
6.25 g
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Half-life (t½) = 68.8 years
Time (t) = 344 years
Original amount (N₀) = 200 g
Amount remaining (N) =?
Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:
Half-life (t½) = 68.8 years
Time (t) = 344 years
Number of half-lives (n) =
n = t / t½
n = 344 / 68.8
n = 5
Thus, 5 half-lives has elapsed.
Finally, we shall determine the amount of the Uranium-232 that remains. This can be obtained as follow:
Original amount (N₀) = 200 g
Number of half-lives (n) = 5
Amount remaining (N) =?
N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀
N = 1/2⁵ × 200
N = 1/32 × 200
N = 200 / 32
N = 6.25 g
Thus, the amount of Uranium-232 that remains is 6.25 g
Good morning!
<span>It requires extremely high temperatures to begin the reaction.

While nuclear fusion involves the union of atoms, fission is the breaking of an atomic nucleus into two smaller parts. For this to happen it is necessary that the atom reaches a very high temperature.
Hugs!
