Answer:

d. 10 million years

Explanation:

These are the options for the question

Choose one answer.

a. 2.5 million years

b. 5 million years

c. 15 million years

d. 10 million years

✓half-life of the radioactive substance= 5 million years

✓ Then for every 5 million years, original radioactive given (100%) percentage is reduced by factor of 1/2.

✓ 1st 5 million year; After the first 5 million years, the original radioactive is reduced as;

(100%) × 1/2 = 50% remains

✓2nd 5 million year: At 10 millions year, the 50% remaining radioactive is reduced by factor of 1/2

(50%) × 1/2 = 25% remains

Hence, at At 10 millions years 25% of the original radioactive atoms remain

Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.

eg:

Positron = e+

Neutrino=ve

O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve

Electron capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

eg:

Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve

Electron capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion two particles with the positron emission mechanism.

How is the sugar cube like a sedimentary rock?
noname [10]
This is heated until evaporation occurs and sugar crystals are precipitated. This is similar to how chemical sedimentary rocks are formed (like rock salt or cave limestone). It is then separated into small individual crystals. This can be representative of weathering and erosion of rock into sediment
