Answer:

B) 5

Explanation:

When an atom lose are gain the electron ions are formed.

There are two types of ions. Cation and anion.

Cation:

It is formed when an atom lose the electrons.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

Anion:

It is formed when an atom gain the electron.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

if an atom has 8 protons it means there were eight electrons present. when it lost three electron it have +3 charge and number of electron that remain are five. 8-3 = 5

A 40.0 milligram sample of 33p decays to 10.0 milligrams in 50.0 days. What is the half life of 33p?

il63 [147K]

Answer:

half life = 25 days

Explanation:

Given data:

Total amount of sample = 40 mg

Sample left after 50 days = 10 mg

Half life of P³³ = ?

Solution:

1st step:

when time is zero = 40 mg

1 half life = 40/2 = 20 mg

2 half life = 20/ 2= 10 mg

2nd step:

Elapsed time/ half life = HL

half life = 50 days/ 2

half life = 25 days

A solid substance is an excellent conductor of electricity. the chemical bonds in this substances are most likely

marishachu [46]

Answer;

-4. metallic, because the valance electrons are mobile

Explanation;

-Electrical conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles.The atoms of metal elements are characterized by the presence of valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell of an atom) that are free to move about.

-Therefore; Metallic elements such as sodium and potassium conducts electricity in solid form due to the presence of delocalized valence electrons. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied.

What element is found in liver and is needed to prevent anemia or tired blood.

DochEvi [55]

The element found in the liver that helps prevent anemia is iron.

Iron is an essential element for blood production. Close to 70% of the body's iron is found in the red blood cells. In the red blood cells it is a vital ingredient of hemoglobin, the red pigment that gives blood its red color. In the muscle cells, iron is found as myoglobin.

Iron is stored mostly in the liver as ferritin or hemosiderin.

When iron stores are finished or exhausted, the condition is called iron depletion. When the shortage of iron is severe, it results in a condition known as iron deficiency anemia whereby the red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin.
