Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

Three metal spoons are on table. They are at room temperature. If the three spoons touch.
Alex
If the spoons touch, no heat will flow among the spoons because they are already in thermal equilibrium with each other. This is hinted by the statement "they are at room temperature" which means they all have the same temperature. Heat only flows when there is a difference in temperature.<span>

Rank the following atoms in order of decreasing first ionization energies (i.e., highest to lowest): Li, Be, Ba, F.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The order is:

F >Be >Li >Ba

Explanation:

Electrons are held in atoms by their  attraction to the nucleus which means that to remove an electron from the atom energy is needed.

The ionization energy is the minimum energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase and ground state, the electron removed being the outermost, that is, the furthest from the nucleus. The further away the electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is to remove it, that is, the less energy is needed.

By increasing the atomic number of the elements of the same group, the nuclear attraction on the outermost electron decreases, since the atomic radius increases. Then the ionization energy decreases. In other words, in a group it decreases from top to bottom because the size of the atom increases and it is easier to remove an external electron.

By increasing the atomic number of the elements of the same period, the nuclear attraction on the outermost electron increases, since the atomic radius decreases. Therefore, in a period, as the atomic number increases, the ionization energy increases. In summary, in a period it increases from left to right as the effective nuclear charge increases and it increases thanks to the decrease in the size of the atom.

Taking these considerations into account, the order is:

<u><em>F >Be >Li >Ba</em></u>

Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius: carbon, aluminum, oxygen, potassium. Rank the following elements by inc
Lapatulllka [165]
The trend of atomic radius in the periodic table is increasing from right to left and from top to bottom. In reference to the table, oxygen has smaller radius compared to carbon, which is smaller than aluminum and which is also smaller than potassium. Thus, the trend from smallest to biggest is oxygen carbon, aluminum and potassium.
