Explain why the atomic radius of fluorine is smaller than that of lithium

1 answer:

Sladkaya [172]2 years ago

1. Common knowledge : Go to the right of periodic table, the atomic radius is decreasing

2. Flurine has 9 protons and lithium has 3 protons. you know that the electron is attracted with the centre of the atom, that's why more proton, more 'energy' that attract to the centre and that's why it make the shape of the atom is smaller

How would life be different without polythene

Alexxx [7]

Without plastic, we wouldn't have as much of an environmental problem as we have now. Even though plastic has a lot of negatives, it's also made our lives a lot easier over past years. ... Our cars would have been different since a lot of the materials used inside are made out of plastic.

Since the half-life of 235U (7. 13 x 108 years) is less than that of 238U (4.51 x 109 years), the isotopic abundance of 235U has

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The Half-life of $^{235}U$ = $7.13 \times 10^8 \ years$ is less than that of $^{238} U = 4.51 \times 10^9 \ years$

Although we are not given any value about the present weight of $^{235}U$ .

So, consider the present weight in the percentage of $^{235}U$ to be y%

Then, the time elapsed to get the present weight of $^{235}U$ = $t_1$

Therefore;

$N_1 = N_o e^{-\lambda \ t_1}$

here;

$N_1$ = Number of radioactive atoms relating to the weight of y of $^{235}U$

Thus:

$In( \dfrac{N_1}{N_o}) = - \lambda t_1$

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) = \lambda t_1$ --- (1)

However, Suppose the time elapsed from the initial stage to arrive at the weight of the percentage of $^{235}U$ to be = $t_2$

Then:

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) = \lambda t_2$ ---- (2)

here;

$N_2$ = Number of radioactive atoms of $^{235}U$ relating to 3.0 a/o weight

Now, equating equation (1) and (2) together, we have:

$In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) -In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) = \lambda( t_1-t_2)$

replacing the half-life of $^{235}U$ = $7.13 \times 10^8 \ years$

$In( \dfrac{N_2}{N_1}) = \dfrac{In 2}{7.13 \times 10^9}( t_1-t_2)$ ( since $\lambda = \dfrac{In 2}{t_{1/2}}$ )

∴

$\mathtt{In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2}= t_1-t_2}$

The time elapsed signifies how long the isotopic abundance of 235U equal to 3.0 a/o

Thus, The time elapsed is $\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}$
