Answer:

to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule is related to the organization of the central atom's valence shell electrons. The valence shell electrons are all negatively charged and therefore are constantly repelling each other. This repulsion is what gives a molecule its three-dimensional shape.

Which of the following models represents an atom that is more reactive than the
Zanzabum

Answer:

Model A

Explanation:

Model A represents an atom that is more reactive than the others represented.

Valence electrons actually determine the reactivity of elements. They also determine the properties of elements.

Elements with one valence electron are highly reactive because they need low energy to remove them. They can either gain more electrons to become stable or they share/give out their electrons.

Therefore, Model A is the correct answer because it has one valence electron and its valence electron is farther from the nucleus thereby this makes it more reactive.

The half-life of a strontium isotope is 25 years. How much of this particular isotope will remain after 100 years if the startin
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1 gram

Explanation:

Half life = 25 years

Starting mass = 16 grams

Time = 100 years

Number of half lives = Time / Duration of Half life = 100 / 25 = 4

After first Half life;

Remaining mass = 16 / 2 =  8 g

After Second Half life;

Remaining mass = 8 / 2 =  4 g

After Third Half life;

Remaining mass = 4 / 2 =  2 g

After Fourth Half life;

Remaining mass = 2 / 2 = 1 g
