Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1 gm = 1000 mg

N = No e^-y t       where y = lambda the decay constant

N / N0 = .9969

ln .9969 = - y t

-.00310 = - 5 y

y = .00310 / 5 = .000621

So the half-life = .693 / y

T^1/2 = .693 / .000621 = 1116 or about 1120 yrs

What are the two kinds of nucleons?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The main types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. A proton, as its name suggests, has a positive electric charge, and a neutron has a neutral electric charge (meaning that it has no charge). The two in the nucleus of the atom make a positive charge, since the neutron has no charge at all.
