1. Which of the following elements would be stable (not radioactive) using the graph below? Calcium-57, Calcium-40, Astatine-220, Cesium-140, Bromine-79

2. Which combination of protons and neutrons below would be stable (not radioactive) using the graph above? 60 protons, 64 neutrons, 60 proton, 82 neutrons, 60 protons, 90 neutrons, 60 protons, 100 neutrons
(this is chemistry if you know chemistry can you pleasee help me:)

1) Calcium 40

2) 60 proton, 82 neutrons

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The graph in the figure represents the stability of nuclei by showing the number of neutrons in the nucleus (y-axis) versus the number of protons in the nucleus (x-axis).

The graph shows that for low number of protons, nuclei are more stable if they contain approximately the same number of protons and neutrons:

However, as the number of protons increases, nuclei becomes more stable if they contain more neutrons than protons, so we see that the band stability is when

Among the 4 options given in this problem, we observe that the isotop:

Calcium-40

Has 20 protons (atomic number 20) and therefore 20 neutrons. Since it is a nucleus with low number of protons, and its ratio neutrons/protons is close to 1, it means that this is a stable isotope.

2)

In order to check which of these isotopes is stable (not radioactive), we have to see which one of them is along the band of stability.

Let's analyze each of them:

60 protons, 64 neutrons --> not stable: this is an isotope with high number of protons, so the ratio neutrons/protons should be much higher than 1

60 proton, 82 neutrons, --> stable: in this case, we see that the number of neutrons is higher than the number of protons, and by looking at the x-axis at the value p = 60, we see that the point corresponding to n = 82 falls within the band of stability.

60 protons, 90 neutrons --> not stable: in this case, we see that the point falls above the band of stability, because there are too many neutrons

60 protons, 100 neutrons --> not stable: as before, there are too many neutrons

step-by-step explanation:

all three statements are true

step-by-step explanation:

a shipping fee of 5% is charged online with every item purchased online

first let's just take each option and calculate them based on this, to see if the answers matched

keith buys a 40 dollar book

40 x 0.05 = 2

therefore there will be a two dollar fee on keith's book

40 + 2 =42

the first statement is true

a chair costs $80

80 x 0.05 = 4

80 + 4 = 84

the second statement is true

george buys a 20 dollar calculator

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

the third statements are true

all three statements are true
