All atoms are of <u>neutral charge, with an equal amount of protons and electrons.</u>
Let us check each statement one by one
a) Sb has a lower ionization energy but a higher electronegativity than I. : As per values given : Definitely Sb has lower ionization energy however the electronegativity of Sb is lower than that of iodine
b) Sb has a higher ionization energy but a lower electronegativity than I. FAlse:
Sb has lower ionization energy than I
c) Sb has a lower ionization energy and a lower electronegativity than I. True
d) Sb has a higher ionization energy and a higher electronegativity than I. False
The number of hours required : 37.2 hours

Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :

Answer:
It’s twice as much as 9+10
