Answer:
13 years
Explanation:
From;
0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)
Where;
t1/12 = half-life of Cobalt-60 = 5.3 years
t = time taken = the unknown
No = mass of radioactive material originally present = 5.2 g
N = mass of radioactive material at time t = 0.95 g
Substituting values;
0.693/5.3 = 2.303/t log (5.2/0.95)
0.131 = 2.303/t(0.738)
0.131 = 1.6996/t
t = 1.6996/0.131
t = 12.97 years
t = 13 years(to the nearest whole number)
The structural form of the element Ge closely resembles the structure of C (diamond).
Diamond is composed of a lattice structure in which atoms of carbon are held together in a face centered cubic lattice.
Germanium, an element in the same group as carbon also forms a face centered cubic lattice that is very similar to that of diamond.
Hence, the structural form of the element Ge closely resembles the structure of C (diamond).
