Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.
Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.
As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.
The correct answer is B. Br
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

HNO3 + Ca —-> H2O + N20 + Ca(NO3)2
its me again this is how you find the answer. note: i dont have the periodic table to see the exact atomic mass to find the molar mass however this is the answer:
so the actual formula is Mg(OH) with a 2 as a subscript because there are 2 Mg. so with Mg(OH)2 the Molar mass is 58.32g/mol. 58.32 g/mol x 7.1x1024 = 4.1x1026g
