25 grams of radon-222 remains after 15.28 days. How much radon was in the original sample? Write an equation for the decay of radon-222.

half-life = 3.8 days

total time of decay = 15.2 days

initial amount = 100. g

number of half-lives past: 15.2/3.8 = 4 half-lives

4 half-lives = 1/16 remains

100. g x 1/16 = 6.25 g

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
