Answer:
Half-life = 3 minutes
Explanation:
Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:
K = ln2 / Half-life
We can find half-life of polonium-218
Radioactive decay:
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Where:
[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg
k is Reaction constant, our incognite
t are 12 min
[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]
-2.7726 = - k*12min
k = 0.231min⁻¹
Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹
<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>

Well the elements would be N, P, As, Sb, and Bi. Their electron configuration would be N= [He] 2s2 2p3, P= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, As= [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3, Sb= Kr 4d10 5s2 5p3, and Bi= Xe 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3.<span />
