Polonium-210 is a radioactive substance with a half-life of 138 days. If a nuclear facility is handling 245 grams of polonium-210, then how many grams of polonium- 210 will be left in 240 days. Round your answer 4 decimal places and remember to use labels. Your Answer: Answer units Gordon invested $91,000 into a CD compounded quarterly with an annual interest rate of 5.55%. Determine how much money Gordon would have after 5 years. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Provide only a numerical answer (For example, if the final amount came to $5.023.97, then you would input 5023.97).

Identification and Characterization of Unstable and Stable Nuclei Nuclear stability can in general be predicted based on the following considerations: • Nuclei with 84 protons or more are unstable. • Nuclei containing a magic number of protons and/or neutrons tend to be stable. • Stable nuclei often contain even numbers of protons and/or neutrons. These factors are reflected in the given graph (Figure 1), which shows the valley of stability as a function of number of neutrons and protons. Figure Number of neutrons 110 90 Belt of stability na 80 70 60 60 7 50 40 30 1:1 neutron-to- 20 proton ratio 10 100 0 0 Casan? 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Number of protons 84 tend to undergo a emission. • Nuclei with high n/p ratios undergo Be) emission. • Heavy nuclei with low n/p ratios are more likely to undergo electron (e) capture. • Light nuclei with low n/p ratios are more likely to undergo positron (e) emission. . ▾ Part B The classification "high" or "low" n/p ratio can be determined by finding…
