Answer:

endothermic reaction

Explanation:

It simply means that you are witnessing<u> an endothermic reaction</u>.

An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat energy from its surrounding, thereby leaving the reaction vessel with a lower temperature as compared to before the reaction.

It is as opposed to exothermic reactions which are reactions that give off energy in the form of heat to the surrounding, thereby leaving a reaction vessel warmer than before the reaction.

<em>In this case, the formation of ice crystals outside the test tube means that heat energy has been absorbed by the reaction which leaves the vessel a temperature cold enough to activate the formation of ice. </em>

What was the half-life of a new isotope?
REY [17]
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.

What is a substance consisting of two or more elements?
bixtya [17]
When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound<span>. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).

Hope this helps.</span>
