Explanation:
No. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different atomic masses (due to the different number of neutrons)
For example, carbon exists as carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have 6 protons but have 6 and 8 neutrons respectively.
Answer:
The famous oil drop experiment exploits that fact that an oil drop in an electronic field will get negative charge accumulation which can be balanced and observed in order to determine the charge of an electron.
Answer:
1. Comparative
2. Independent variable
3. The pH is the Dependent variable
<h3>Answer:</h3>
18.75 grams
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
- In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
- To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;
Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives
Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life
= 40 years ÷ 10 years
= 4
Therefore;
Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴
= 300 g × 1/16
= 18.75 g
Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.
