Germanium -66 has a half-life of 2.5 hours. you have 35 grams of radioactive material. after 16 days, how much radioactive material remains?

Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

How many half-lives are in 16 days?

Multiply 16 by 24 (to get the total hours) and divide that by 2.5.

That is 153.6 half-lives.

35(0.5)^(153.6) represents the equation for this.

Simplify this and get 8.88 x 10^(-45).

There will be 2.02 x 10^(-45)g of germanium-66 sample remaining after 16 days.

Hope this helps!

i believe it is 40–40–20%

explanation:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
