Answer:

Electron pair geometry- trigonal planar

There is one lone pair around the boron atom

The geometry of BH2 is bent

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory offers a frame work for determining the shape of molecules based on the number of electron pairs of the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In BH2-, the central atom is boron. There is a lone pair on boron. Owing to the lone pair on boron, the molecular geometry of BH2 is bent.

The half-life for the radioactive decay of ce−141 is 32.5 days. if a sample has an activity of 3.8 μci after 162.5 d have elapse

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer : 121.5 μCi

Explanation : We have Ce-141 half life given as 32.5 days so if the activity is 3.8 μci after 162.5 days of time elapsed we have to find the initial activity.

We can use this formula;

 $\frac{N}{ N_{0} } = e^{-( \frac{0.693 X T_{2} }{T_{1}})$

3.8 / $N_{0}$ = $e^$ ((0.693 X 162.5 ) / 32.5) = 121.5

On solving we get, The initial activity as 121.5 μci
