Interpretation:
Given table has to be completed with the correct values.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive nuclides undergo disintegration by emission of radiation. All the radioactive nuclide do not undergo the decay at a same rate. Some decay rapidly and others decay very slowly. The nuclear stability can be quantitatively expressed by using the half-life.
The time required for half quantity of the radioactive substance to undergo decay is known as half-life. It is represented as
The equation that relates amount of decayed radioactive material, amount of undecayed radioactive material and the time elapsed can be given as,

- ings ools Molecular compounds are usually composed solely of nonmetals. A binary molecular compound is one in which the compound contains only two elements (regardless of how many atoms are present of each). When naming binary molecular compounds, prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms of each element. Take a moment to review some of the prefixes shown here. Prefix Number mono di nona one three tetra four penta five hexa six hepta seven octa eight nine deca two ten For example, SF6 is named sulfur hexafluoride. Note that the prefix mono is not used in naming the first element. Also note that the second element in the name should end with the suffix ide. ▼ Part A Using the rules for naming molecular compounds described in the introduction, what is the name for the compound PC15?

Now we will talk about when an atom is not neutral. This is called an ION. Ions occur when the protons and electrons are not equal. On the Atom Module, I want you to create Beryllium with a mass number of 9 but only add 2 electrons. HoW many electrons would need to be added if the atom was neutral? What is the charge of the ion when you only have 2 electrons? How is the charge determined? 9. Now go to the Symbol Module and create the same atom. Write down the atomic notation for the ion. 10. Using either the Atom or Symbol Modules, create an Oxygen ion that has a -2 charge and a mass number of 18. Determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the ion. 11. If you want to create a positive ion does the number of protons or electrons have to be greater? If you want to create a negative ion does the number of protons or electrons have to be greater? 12. The number of protons is always the same as the atomic number for the atom and can NEVER change. Therefore, ions are…arrow_forwardWhat is the chemical formula of the salt formed between Sodium and Sulfur? What is the name of the salt formed between Sodium and Sulfur?
