Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.
When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.
Answer:
Nobelium is made by the bombardment of curium (Cm) with carbon nuclei. Its most stable isotope, 259No, has a half-life of 58 minutes and decays to Fermium (255Fm) through alpha decay or to Mendelevium (259Md) through electron capture.

Explanation:
Hence the mass defect is;
[235.04393 + 1.00867] - [ 136.92532 + 96.91095 + 2(1.00867)]
= 236.0526 - 235.85361
= 0.19899 amu
Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg
0.19899 amu = 0.19899 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg
Binding energy = Δmc^2
Binding energy = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 2.97 * 10^-11 J
ii) 
Hence the mass defect is;
[10.01294 + 1.00867] - [7.01600 + 4.00260]
= 11.02161 - 11.0186
= 0.00301 amu
Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg
0.00301 amu = 0.00301 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg
Binding energy = Δmc^2
Binding energy = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 4.5 * 10^-13 J
Metal period- Reactivity Gets smaller as you move from left to right.
Group- Reactivity gets bigger as you move down a group.
