Sr-90 is a radioactive isotope that is a major product of an atomic bomb explosion. it is not found naturally in nature. it has a half-life of 28.1 years a) determine k for the first order radioactive decay b) calculate the fraction of sr-90 that remains after 10 half-lives. c) calculate the time required for 99.3% of sr-90 to disappear. d) sr-90 is linked to bone cancer in persons who have lived near a nuclear event. why? e) a sample of bone tissue was unearthed at a crime scene was analyzed for sr-90. it was found that the bone sample contained 21.67% of a similar sample of bone from a person alive today in the area where the fragment was found. estimate the point in time when the person died another bone fragment was analyzed for sr-90. there was no sr-90 found in the bone. assuming that the analytical method used to analyze for sr-90 is accurate to the atomic level (yes, such a method exists), what can be said about the minimum age of the bone fragment

Darla claims that the first periodic table developed by mendeleev was not completely accurate, so it is not useful at all. harmony argues that it establish the periodic table we use today, making it more credible. who is correct and why? darla is correct, because a model that has any mistakes should be thrown out. darla is correct, because a good model would not need to change. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model had all of the information correct in the first version. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.
