The number of hours required : 37.2 hours
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :
Radio waves.
microwaves.
infrared waves.
light.
ultraviolet waves (rays)
x-rays.
gamma rays.
I would say A and D. A is right for sure, as for D, I'm not so sure. Hope this helps!
<span>1. Tap water has a small concentration of H+ & OH- ions as well as water molecules, hence there would be permanent dipole-permanent dipole (p.d.-p.d.) forces of attraction between the water molecules (aka H-bonds) as well as ionic bonds between the H+ & OH- ions.
2. Distilled water does not have H+ & OH- ions, hence only H-bonds exist between the water molecules.
3. There are covalent bonds between the individual sugar molecules.
4. There are ionic bonds between the Na+ & Cl- ions in NaCl.
5. There are p.d.-p.d. forces of attraction between the Na+ ions and the O2- partial ions of the water molecules as well as between the Cl- ions and the H+ partial ions of the water molecules. There are also H-bonds between the individual water molecules and ionic bonds between the Na+ & Cl- ions (although these are in much lower abundance than in unsolvated solid NaCl).
6. There are i.d.-i.d. as well as p.d.-p.d. forces of attraction between the sugar molecules and the water molecules. There are also H-bonds between the individual water molecules and covalent bonds within the sugar molecules.</span>
