To solve this, we can use two equations.
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
where, t1/2 is half-life and λ is the decay constant.
t1/2 = 10 min = 0.693 / λ
Hence, λ = 0.693 / 10 min - (1)
Nt = Nο e∧(-λt)
Nt = amount of atoms at t =t time
Nο= initial amount of atoms
t = time taken
by rearranging the equation,
Nt/Nο = e∧(-λt) - (2)
From (1) and (2),
Nt/Nο = e∧(-(0.693 / 10 min) x 20 min)
Nt/Nο = 0.2500
Percentage of remaining nuclei = (nuclei at t time / initial nuclei) x 100%
= (Nt/Nο ) x 100%
= 0.2500 x 100%
= 25.00%
Hence, Percentage of remaining nuclei is 25.00%
Answer:

Explanation:
Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula
Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)
a) for methylene:
Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0
b) For methyl free radical
Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
Sorry this will probably be pretty long.
So think of the "control" as being something you yourself add to increase or decrease the effects in an experiment.
I'll give you an example so it is not as confusing.
Say you have decided to make an experiment on plants. Which plant can grow the fastest on which type of liquid? What is being added to this experiment? The liquid! Or all of the liquids you used. Like if you used Coke, Lime Gatorade, Orange Gatorade, and Water. Each drink will EFFECT each plant differently.
Hope I was of any hope?
