The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. How long will it take for the number of carbon-14 nuclei in a sample to drop to a quarter of the original number?

5370 years. A half-life is how long a radioactive object takes for half of all its atoms to become new elements. 100 is half of 200 =)

∙ 14y ago5,370 years. That's what a half-life is. It is how long an atom or isotope takes for half of it to decay.

C14 decays to C12. The final product of the decay of 200g C14 is ~172g C12.

What is made of protons and neutrons but not electrons?
Atomic nuclei (and alpha particales, but these are exactly the same as Helium nuclei)
What do the nuclei of different plutonium isotopes have in common?
The nuclei of all plutonium isotopes contain the same number of protons.
Why do electrons stay mostly between the two nuclei?
In a chemical bond, electrons reside between the two nuclei rather than inside the nucleus, because the nuclei have protons (positive charges) that repel the electrons.
How has basic knowledge about atomic nuclei been used in technology?
Knowledge about atomic nuclei has been used to produce energy.
All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half life?
No, halflife is a bulk statistical property of a quantity of an isotope of an element.Individual nuclei do not have halflives, instead they have a probability of decaying at the current moment of time.
What is the percentage of radioactive nuclei left after 3 half lives have passed?
12.5%
Are the nuclei of final elements produced by nuclear decay more stable or less stable than the nuclei of original radioactive elements?
Of course they are more stable, therefore they formed naturally.
What fraction of a radioactive nuclei remain after p half lives?
The remainder is 2-p or 0.5p of the original amount.
Cell division resulting in two new nuclei having the same number of chromosomes as the original nucleus is called?
fission
How many time nuclus divided in meiosis?
3 times and the original so you get 4 nuclei (one for each cell)
Which 4 kingdoms have nuclei?
The four eukaryotic kingdoms that have nuclei are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista. Nuclei are membrane-bound organelles that house the genetic material and control the activities of the cell.
