No, carbon dating is the amount of an isotope of carbon in a fossil, Carbon 14. The amount of Carbon 14 is predictable over a time line, and the area of the time line the amount of C14 that occurs in that fossil will be a fairly accurate indication of it's approzimate age.

Which of the following processes depend on spontaneous radioactive decay?
the process of bone-scan imaging, using radiometric dating, radium paint that makes watch dials glow in the dark using carbon-14 to determine fossil ages
What elements are in coal?
it is a fossil fuel-the elements in coal are mainly hydrogen and carbon, with lower levels of hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen, yet some trace elements within coal are radioactive. These include Uranium, Thorium, Radon and Radium.
Do radium have a small atomic number?
No. In fact radium is at the bottom of the periodic table where the heaviest elements are. Its atomic number is 88 (compare with carbon, the standard element; atomic number 6)
Where on the periodic table is nitrogen Oxygen Carbon Yttrium Radium?
I'm not an expert (I'm 11 years old) but I'm very sure Carbon (C), Radium (Ra), Oxygen (O) and Yttrium (Y). Carbon can be found in column 4a, Radium in column 2a, Oxygen in column 6a and Yttrium in column 1b which if you didn't know, comes after the row 2a (have a labeled column periodic table to understand this)I hope you find this of help =)
Why would it be dangerous to handle even small amount of radium?
Radium is strongly radioactive and emit alpha, beta and gamma radiations. These radiations are very dangerous for all the beings.
How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of radium?
Two electrons in the outer shell of radium.
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of radon?
There are 88 protons/electrons in radium. There are 138 neutrons.
How do you spell radium?
radium
Is radium a compound or a element?
Radium is a chemical element, not a compound.
What is the cost of radium?
Radium is not a common commercial product.
What is radium chloride?
Radium chloride, RaCl2, was the first radium compound to be prepared in a pure state and was the basis of Marie Curie's original separation of radium from barium. The first preparation of radium metal was by the electrolysis of a solution of radium chloride using a mercury cathode.
What is radium common name?
The first name was radium; some isotopes had in the past other names.
