The Beryllium (Be) atom has 4 protons, 4 electrons (2 valence e- ), and 5 neutrons. It is on the 2nd period, so it has two ele
ctron shells
1 answer:
(diagram below)
1. has two electron shells, so draw two rings around the nucleus
2. has 4 electrons, and since the first shell always has two the second shell would have 2 as well (to add up to four). this makes sense, because the description says that Be has 2 valence electrons
3. Draw 4 protons inside the grey circle (the nucleus)
4. Draw 5 neutrons inside the grey circle too (the nucleus)
they don't have to be in any particular order, hope this helps!

<h3>How to get the volume of a body-centered cubic unit cell?</h3>
In a body-centered cubic unit cell, the side length of the cube is given as:
Where R is the radius of the atom.
And the volume of a cube is the side length cubed, then we can see that the volume of our cube will be:
Solving that we get:
This is the approximated volume of the unit cell.

Answer : The half-life of the compound is, 145 years.
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the rate constant.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time passed by the sample = 60.0 min
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 25 = 75 g
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Now we have to calculate the half-life of the compound.
Therefore, the half-life of the compound is, 145 years.
