A radioactive material with half life of 6.25 years undergoes beta decay. How much fraction of material is decayed after 25 years:
- A \(1/16\)
- B \(15/16\)
- C \(1/8\)
- D \(7/8\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(15/16\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(n = t / T_{1/2} = 25 \text{ years} / 6.25 \text{ years} = 4\) \(N/N_0 = (1/2)^n = (1/2)^4 = 1/16\) Fraction decayed = \(1 - N/N_0 = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16\)

When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a single donor atom, it is said to be a unidentate ligand but when it bind through two donor atoms, then it is said to be didentate ligand and when several donor atoms are present in a single ligand, it is said to be a polydentate ligand. When a dior polydentate ligand uses its two or more donor atoms simultaneously to bind a single metal ion, it is said to be a chelate ligand. The number of such ligating groups is called the denticity of the ligand. ligand which has two different donor atoms and either of the two ligetes in the complex is called ambidentate ligands. The number of ligand donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded, is called coordination number of the metal ion in the complex. Complexes in which a metal is bound to only one kind of donor groups are known as homoleptic and in which a metal is bound to more than one kind of donor groups are known as heteroleptic complexes.
