Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?

It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.


What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?

Remains the same


How do you find the atomic weight on the periodic table?

On many Periodic Tables, the small number directly below the chemical symbol is the atomic mass. On mine, there is a small 12.011 under the large C for carbon. While most carbon is 12, there are naturally occurring carbon13 and carbon14, so this is an average mass of all naturally occurring isotopes, with the majority of isotopes being carbon12


What is nuclear isotopes?

A radioactive isotope is a form of an element that is unstable and eventually decays into a different element. For example, most Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and is stable. This is called Carbon12.Carbon14 with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, is unstable and decays by releasing a beta particle from its nucleus to become a stable isotope, Nitrogen14. which has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.That refers to an isotope that is unstable - the atoms will decay after a while.

An artifact is found that some are claiming is 30000 years old 3.1 percent of the original carbon14 is present The halflife of carbon14 is 5730 year?

Yes, but the dating is only off a little (500 years or so).

What is the definition of the word polonium?

Polonium is a very rare chemical element. It has the atomic number 84. It is produced when uranium decays and is a naturally radioactive metallic element.


What formula describes how naturally occurring chemical elements such as uranium thorium and potassium helped to heat the Earth's interior?

During radioactive decays heat is released.


What Limitations are there of using carbon14 to date rocks?

The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
