The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1".
In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor
conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally
very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are
highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed
out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.
Explanation:
Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

Answer:</h3>
2000 atoms
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given the following;
Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms
Time taken for the decay 3200 years
We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.
We need to know the half life of Radium
- Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
- Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
- Therefore, using the formula;
Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n
where n is the number of half lives
n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years
= 2
Therefore;
Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2
= 8000 × 0.25
= 2000 atoms
Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.
