Long Answer:

Ionic: Cation is named first followed by the anion.

If it's an ionic compound with a transition metal, there are more than one possible ion. Molecular - named with the least electronegative ion first + prefixes are given to both ions to indicate number of atoms in each element.

Short Answer: Ionic compounds- Cation is named first, followed by the anion.

Only radioactive isotopes are useful for radiometric dating or medical diagnostic exams. Briefly explain why stable isotopes wou
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of elements that have the same atomic number but different mass number hence ISOTOPY. Radioactive Isotopes on the other hand are unstable as they either undergo Alpha decay, beta decay or gamma decay compared to stable isotopes.

Radioactive elements decay at varyinf rates as such the rate of radioactive decay is used in the characterization of radioactive element and mostly expressed in terms of the half life of the radioactive elements.

Half life is the time taken for half of the total atoms of an elements to decay into half of its initial sizes. for example, the half life of radium-226 is 1622 years, it implies that if we have 1000000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622years, 500000 would have disintegrated. These phenomenon can never be experienced by stable isotopes as such they can not be used in carbon dating techniques. reason why uranium-238 is mostly and commonly used in the earth crust to estimate the ages of rocks because it has a half life of 4.5 x 10^9 years.

And also, the radioactive isotopes of most common light element are short, they have very short half life (few days or weeks) and they decay rapidly to vanshing point, as such, they are not found in nature to any reasonable extent.

harkovskaia [24]
Kinetic energy is 1/2m*v^2
They already halved the mass for you and they already squared the velocity for you. I’m unsure why you’re even asking this question. It’s simple multiplication at this point.
(27.5kg)*(4m^2/s^2) = 110 Jules
