Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life  = 8.08days

Unknown:

What fraction is left unchanged after 16.16days = ?

Solution:

The half - life of a substance is the time taken for the half of a radioactive material to decay to half.

 

  Day 0           Day 8.08         Day 16.16

   100%                 50%                 0%        Parent

    0%                     50%                100%     Daughter

After 16.16 days, non of the original sample will remain unchanged.

We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave
MrMuchimi

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

What is the most likely type of bond formed between element x and iodine?
Tanzania [10]
The most likely bond between element X and Iodine would be an ionic, or electrovalent, bond. Iodine has seven electrons in its outer shell, also known as the valence shell. To become perfectly stable, it needs only a single electron from another element. Hence no sharing of electron takes place (usually), which is the condition required for it to be covalent bonding. Hence it's most likely an ionic bonding/

1. What kinds of metals are REALLY reactive? why?
Olin [163]

Answer:

1. Alkali metals (group 1)

2. halogens (Group 17)

3. noble gasses (group 18)

Explanation:

1. alkali metals only have one valence electron meaning that they really want to lose that one valence electron to get a full octet.

2. halogens have 7 valence electrons meaning that they just need to gain 1 to get a full octet.

3. Nobel gasses already have a full octet meaning that they don't want to react. (atoms only react to get a full octet)

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
