Part 1: What is the half-life of the element? Explain how you determined this.
Part 2: How long would it take 320 g of the sample to decay to 2.5 grams? Show your work or explain your answer.

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
