Isotopes 12C 13C and 14C all behave the same chemically because they?
All have the same nuclear charge and consequently the same electron configuration.
What are atoms of the same number of protons but different number of neutrons classified as?
isotopes. ex- c14,c12 are isotopes .proton same 6. neutrons are 8,6 respectively
What is the arrangement of subatomic particles in 14C?
The isotope 14C has in the nucleus 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The electron configuration is [He]2s22p2.
List a range of items that can be dated by isotope carbon 14?
It is not that simple. Carbon 14 (C14) is created in the upper atmosphere by the action of cosmic rays on Nitrogen atoms. There is not much of it, C14 occurs in trace amounts, only making up as much as 1 part per trillion (0.0000000001%) of the carbon on the Earth. This amount of C14 is in balance, the amount created in the upper atmosphere balances the amount lost by the natural radioactive decay of the isotope. All living things on earth, are made of chemicals that include carbon and, while living, the amount of C14 in them is in balance with the amount of C14 in the atmosphere. However when a living thing dies it no longer mixes the carbon in its body with that of the atmosphere and thus the amount of C14 it contains begins to reduce to levels below that found in the atmosphere because the C14 decays radioactively. Thus items to be dated using C14 must contain carbon (wood, charcoal, hair and bones are good) and must have remained undisturbed since the organisms death. Also C14 decays rather quickly and is therefore only good for dating items that are less than about 60,000 years old.
What element is 14C?
14 atoms of carbon.
What is the symbol for the radioactive isotope known as Carbon 14?
It's usually posted as 14C and indicates the isotope asked about.
What is the c-14 c-12 ratio used to date once living organisms?
It is because living organisms absorb C14 from their environment. After death, they are no longer capable of absorbing any more C14. So, at the time of death, the C14 : C12 ratio is fixed. C14 undergoes radioactive decay (into C12) so the C14 : C12 ratio declines and that can be used as a measure of the time since death.
Does radiosotope 14c and 12c have the same number of protons?
Yes of course
How does the essential element carbon cycle through living systems?
c14 .itz the essential part of all living thing .and historians calculate the age of the old material by the decyaing rate of c14
What is 14c-5c for algebra?
It is: 14c-5c = 9c
What is the half life of C14?
The half life of Carbon 14 used for radioactive decay id 5,700 years
Isotopes 12C 13C and 14C all behave the same chemically because they?
All have the same nuclear charge and consequently the same electron configuration.
What are the release dates for C14 - 2013?
C14 - 2013 was released on: USA: 30 October 2013 (limited)
What is the factor of 25b2 - 196c2?
There is a formula for the "difference of squares." In this case, the answer is (5b - 14c)(5b + 14c)
What is the 14c equals -3 simplified version?
17
Why is more C-14 found in new bone than in ancient bones of the same mass?
Because C14 will gradually disintegrate.
What are atoms of the same number of protons but different number of neutrons classified as?
isotopes. ex- c14,c12 are isotopes .proton same 6. neutrons are 8,6 respectively
