Ionic or electrovalent compounds support the theory of ionic bonding because they are compounds composed of charged particles formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.

Electrovalent compounds posses:

  • High boiling and melting points.
  • Form crystals.

<h3>What is ionic bonding?</h3>

This is the transfer of valence electrons from metals to non metals to form ionic compounds. It also refers to a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges.

What is the halflife of a radioisotope if a 20-g sample becomes 10g after 16 hours
ohaa [14]

Answer:

T½ = 16hours

Explanation:

Final mass (N) = 10g

Initial mass (No) = 20g

Time (t) = 16hours

T½ = ?

T½ = In2 / λ

But λ = ?

In(N/No) = -λt

In(10/20) = -(λ * 16)

In(0.5) = -16λ

-0.693 = -16λ

λ = 0.693 / 16

λ = 0.0433

Note : λ is known as the disintegration constant

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / 0.0433

T½ = 16hours

The half-life of the sample is 16hours
