Atomic number of C is 6. Hence, there are 6 electrons in carbon.
The electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2, 2s2, 2p2
Here, there are 2 unpaired electron. However, C2+ ions have 2 electrons less as compared to C.
Hence, electronic configuration of C 2+ ion is 1s2, 2s2. All the electrons are paired in this system. So there are no unpaired electrons in C 2+ ion.
The answer is Steam because gas has the most motion
First, we will get the "n", the number of half lives, it is the elapsed time over the half life. In the problem, the time is measured in days, so we have
6/2 = 3
to get the ending amount of radioactive sample, we have
32g x (1/2)³ = 4 grams of radioactive sample ⇒ the amount left after 6 days
