Answer:
There are electrons in this atom.
Explanation:
Electron configuration of this atom: .
The electron orbitals of an atom are denoted as ,
,
,
,
, etc. At any given time, an electron in this atom is located in exactly one orbital.
The electron configuration of an atom gives the number of electrons in each orbitals of this atom.
For example, in this atom, the superscript "" on the right of "
" means that there are two electrons in the
orbital of this atom. Hence,
would translate to:
Hence, there would be electrons in total in this atom.
The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.
Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.
They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration
The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2
The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are
and
respectively.
Answer:
Two Half-lives
Explanation:
Let number of Parent nuclei Initially present be X,
Then, finally Parent nuclei Will remain with
daughter nuclei.
In one half- life , parent nuclei becomes half of initial.
So, starting with X parent nuclei,
After one half-life, it will degrade to .
After another half life , Parent nuclei will become half of
Which is equal to .
So, Parent nuclei have to go through Two half-lives.
