Answer:

Explanation:

No of atoms of Ra in 1 g of sample = 6.023 x 10²³ / 226

N = 2.66 x 10²¹

disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life

half life = 1620 x 365 x 60 x 60 x 24 = 5.1 x 10¹⁰ s

disintegration constant λ = .693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰

radioactivity dn / dt = λN

= (.693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰ )  x 2.66 x 10²¹

= .3614 x 10¹¹ per sec

= 3.614 x 10¹⁰ / s

An atom of sodium has a larger mass than an atom of neon. How is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?
jeka94

The electrons contribute just about zero to the mass of an atom.
It takes more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of one
proton or neutron.

The naturally occurring element with the most complex atom is
Uranium. That's element #92 , so a neutral uranium atom has
92 electrons.  It would take almost exactly 20 times that many
electrons to add the mass of one proton or neutron to the atom!
(And no other element has that many electrons in an atom of it.)

Which of the answer choices is a true statement? Select all that apply. Metallic elements usually exist as molecules, combining
lianna [129]

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Nonmetals usually exist as molecules, combining with atoms of themselves.

Nonmetals can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Explanation:

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms. They have a large radius and are stable enough to freely exist as single atoms. The metallic bonding in them gives them stability.  Example Gold, Silver, Platinum e.t.c

Non-metals are usually found in combined as state as molecules. They are usually joined together by covalent attraction. The bonds are formed with the atoms shares their valence electrons and their octet is completed. For example nitrogen gas, oxygen gas.

Most noble gases are non-metals that exist as individual mono-atomic gases on their own. The gases are stable and have an octet/duet configuration. For example helium gas, neon gas e.t.c

A student is standing 8 m from a roaring truck engine that is measured at 100 dB. The student moves 4 m closer to the engine. Wh
Evgen [1.6K]
The loudness or sound intensity of the roaring truck engine is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. it follows the law of squares that is 
r1^2 / r2^2 = L2/L1
8^2 / 4^2 = L2 / 100 dB
L2 =  400 dB

The answer to this problem is 400 dB increased frim 100 dB.
