A complex of the type `[M"(AA)"_(2)X_(2)]^(n+)` is known to be optically active. What does this indicate about the structure of the complex ? Give one example.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the complex of the type `[M"(AA)"_(2)X_(2)]^(n+)` is optically active, it has an octahedral structure with cis- configuration. Example : `[Co(en)_(2)Cl_(2)]^(+)`.

The initial number of radioactive atoms in a radioactive sample is N_0 . If after time t the number of becomes N, then N=N_0e^(-lambdat) , where lambda is known as the decay constant of the element. The time in which the number of radioactive atoms becomes half of its initial number is called the half-life (T) of the element. The time in which the number of atoms falls to 1/e times of its initial number is the mean life (tau) of the element.
