25000 molecules of U-238 element will be left after 4.5 billion years.

<h2>What is half life of radioactive element?</h2>

<h3>Half life of radioactive element</h3>

Half-life of radioactive elements refers to the time interval needed for one-half of the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample to decay. The change occurs in the radioactive element into other nuclear species by emitting particles and energy.

Radioactive decay reduces the number of radioactive nuclei up to half of its original value or molecules so we can conclude that 25000 molecules of U-238 element will be left after 4.5 billion years.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

200 mL

Explanation:

You simply add the volumes :) If this was a case that involved titration, you would use the formula M1V1 = M2V2. I do not know if that is what you were referring to but based on the information you gave, you simply add the two volumes.

In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the ________.
lord [1]

In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the isotopes of an element.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>An atom  </h3>
  • An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made of energy shells and the inner nucleus.
  • It is also made up of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
<h3>Neutrons  </h3>
  • They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a zero charge or no charge.
  • Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons.
  • The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom. Like protons they only take part in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Protons</h3>
  • Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are positively charged. with a charge of +1.
  • The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
  • The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to the positive charge of the protons.  
  • Additionally, protons do not take part in chemical reactions but in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Electrons  </h3>
  • They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory. Electrons are negatively charged each with a charge of -1.
  • The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal. Additionally they have the least mass of the three sub-atomic particles.
  • Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Isotopes </h3>
  • Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same mass number but different atomic number.
<h3>Mass number;</h3>
  • Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element.

Keywords: Atom, sub-atomic particles, electrons, protons, neutrons, isotopes
