A half life of 29 years means that after 29 years, only half of this isotope would be left due to radioactive decay. If we start of with 2000g of it and leave it for 116 years, it would undergo 4 "half=lives". 116/29 = 4. So after the first half life, we would have 2000g/2 = 1000g left. After the second, we would have 500g left, after the third, 250g so after 4 half lives or 116 years, there would be 125 g  of Strontium-90 left at the site.

Which atomic model states that it is impossible to know the exact location of electrons around the nucleus?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

the Bohr model, an electron's position is known precisely because it orbits the nucleus in a fixed path. In the electron cloud model, the electron's position cannot be known precisely. Only its probable location can be known.

What two types of elements are ionic compounds made of?
mash [69]

Answer:

ionic compounds are made from metal and non mental elements

Explanation:

in this case it is know as an ionic compound because it contains a charge. For example, NaCl is simply a compound as it contains no charges (the charges cancel out as Cl is -1 and Na is +1)

but OH- is an ionic compound as it has a charge if -1 (O has a -2 charge and H has a +1 charge, so -2+1=-1 so OH has -1 charge)

Is It Deadly To Mix Bleach, Rubbing Alcohol, And/or Hydrogen Peroxide?
Oduvanchick [21]
Mixing bleach with rubbing alcohol and/or hydrogen peroxide can run the risk of producing chlorine gas. This is a gas that if inhaled in excess, or at all, is extremely dangerous, harmful or even fatal. Keeping this in mind, it is therefore not recommended that you mix these substances together. The label of your rubbing alcohol will recommend any substances it can or cannot be mixed with.
