The number of hours required : 37.2 hours
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :
These are called resistors.
A mixture is a compound of two or more substances a pure substance is only made of one kind of atom and a solution is composed of a liquid substance made of two or more types of atoms
#AB
Electronegativity difference=3.3-2.9=0.4.
- It's a covalent bond.
- Gaseous or solid substance.
#AC
Electronegativity difference=3.3-0.7=2.6
- Its an ionic bond.
- Solid substance.
#BC
Electronegativity difference=2.9-0.7=2.3
- It's an ionic bond
- Solid substance
The subatomic particle involved in chemical bonding is the electron. Electrons are the smallest of all subatomic particles and orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels called shells. Electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged due to the protons.
