Answer: Hmmmmm that's crazy....
There are a couple of equations one could use for this type of problem, but I find the following to be the easiest to use and to understand.
Fraction remaining (FR) = 0.5n
n = number of half lives that have elapsed
In this problem, we need to find n and are given the FR, which is 1.56% or 0.0156 (as a fraction).
0.0156 = 0.5n
log 0.0156 = n log 0.5
-1.81 = -0.301 n
n = 6.0 half lives have elapsed

Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)
Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.
Sodium has 12 neutrons.
<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>
The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.
The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.

Answer:
33/16 S
Explanation:
In beta decay, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit while the mass of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus.
Hence, if we know that a beta decay has occurred, then the parent nucleus must have the same mass as its daughter nucleus but have an atomic number that is less than that of the daughter nucleus by only one unit, hence the answer above.
