A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 85% hourly. Determine the half-life of this isotope to the nearest minute. Use the formula A = lekt where A is the amount at time t, I is the initial amount, and k is the decay constant unique to the substance. a. 256 min
b. 14 min
c. 22 min
d. 18 min
e. 35 min

they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

can i get the brainiest answer

i answered it first

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
