...a metal atom will *lose* electrons to form a *positive* cation and a nonmetal atom will *accept* electrons to form an *negative* anion.
The density of a pure gold is 19.32g/cm3
if the volume is 4.30 cm3 then we can calculate the mass using the formula mass=density x volume
mass=19.32*4.30
mass=83.076g
It will take 5.2 years to decay.
The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.
here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,
so, ![(\frac{1}{2} )^{n} = 0.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%29%5E%7Bn%7D%20%3D%200.5)
n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)
n = 1
So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.
what do you mean by radioactive decay ?
The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.

1s2 2s2 2p1
fifth electron is in 2p orbital
so answer is 2 2 -1 -1/2 , or 2 2 -1 1/2
*1/2 and -1/2 are spins, so they are interchangeable when writing the first electron in the ml
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
Cation and anion.
For example Na+ and Cl- -----> NaCl.
