Radioactive material obeys 1st order decay kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, we have
k =
where, k = rate constant of reaction
Given: Initial conc. 100, Final conc. = 6.25, t = 18.9 hours
∴ k =
= 0.1467 hours^(-1)
Now, for 1st order reactions: half life =
= 4.723 hours.

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.
When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.
For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms
ion.
When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.
Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.
