The radon-222 sample has a half-life of 3.8 days, and we are asked how many times would the mass divide in half after 23 days. First we calculate the amount of times division occurs by taking the number of days and dividing that by the number of days for one half-life to occur: 23/3.8 = 6.05.
We have 198.6 grams of sample, and we are going to divide it in half 6 times to determine how much of it remains after 23 days:
198.6/2 = 99.3 grams
99.3/2 = 49.65 grams
49.65/2 = 24.83 grams
24.83/2 = 12.41 grams
12.41/2 = 6.21 grams
6.21/2 = 3.1 grams
Therefore, we are left with 3.1 grams of radon-222 after 23 days if one half-life equals to 3.8 days.
Answer:
C10H22
Explanation:
Molecular Solids comprises of a Vander waal's force of attraction between the molecule. These forces are very weak when compared to ionic and covalent bond.
In Carbon, Carbon is not a molecule but an atom. One of it unique characteristics is that it forms bonds with other carbon atoms. This property is know as catenation. The bond between these carbon atoms is know as covalent bond.
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It exists as black , slippery, hexagonal crystals.The carbon atoms in graphite forms flat layers and are joined together by strong covalent bonds. Graphite can be used as lubricant in engines.
Gold (Au) is an element on the periodic table with atomic number 79 and a mass number 197. It exists as a metal. Most times Gold forms hydrogen bonds.
C10H22 is known as decane. It is the tenth compound formed in the series of alkane family( an organic unsaturated carbon chain family). Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons. The forces of attraction between the alkane family are weak.In decane , their exists Vander waal's force which makes Decane C10H22 a Molecular Solid.
Explanation:
Energy makes molecules in the air move faster and expand, decreasing density. The opposite is true for cold air. Molecules are closer together, and absorb less energy.
All of these are compounds except oxygen because a compound is two or more different elements bonded together.
