The right answer is 28 years.

The half-life, or period of a radioactive isotope, is the time required for half of the nuclei of this isotope initially present to decay naturally.

One gram of pure 90 strontium has a radioactivity of 5.11 TBq. Its beta radiation is not penetrating, which makes it difficult to measure when it is in the soil or a matrix. It is very harmful when the particle is inhaled or ingested.

Acompound has the empirical formula CH.
ozzi
The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ration that defines constituent atoms in a species. The molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula.

Molecule Formula = 78.0 • g • mol ^ -1 = n(12.011 + 1.00794) • g • mol ^ -1

78
N = ——————————- = 6
12.011 + 1.00794

Molecular Formula = C6H6

Ann [662]
The answer is <span>d. homologous structures.

Homologous structures are </span><span>similar structures shared by different species. For example, the anatomy of joints in bones of birds and dinosaurs, support the idea that these two groups have a common ancestor. But since these two groups are different enough to be separated into different classes, it can be concluded that they evolved from the common ancestor.</span>

I believe studying the hydrosphere would be most important because we haven't explored a good majority of it yet so we need to explore our waters before we explore space
