The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. how many grams of parent material will remain from a 200-gram sample after 3 half-lives?
100
50
25
12.5

The answer to your question is 25 grams

Explanation:

Data

half-life = 5730 years

sample = 200 g

after 3 half-lives

Process

Calculate the amount of sample after one, two and three half-lives.

After each half-life, that of sample is half the previous amount.

                         Number of half-lives           Amount of sample

                                       0                                        200 g

                                        1                                         100 g

                                        2                                          50 g

                                       3                                           25 g

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
