The carbon-14 isotope is important because it allows scientists to determine what about an organic sample?

It is through measuring the amount of carbon-14 in an organic sample that we can find out how long ago the sample was part of a living orgainsm.
Organic materials that have been preserved in some way can be dated using this technique, called radiocarbon dating. There are limits to how far back we can look with radiocarbon dating, but it is very helpful in a lot of cases were the age of the material goes back a few tens of thousands of years.

Why can scientists use spectroscopy to determine what elements are present in a compound?
because they can and they want to!, and because it is there jobs so they have to x
Why you think chemical symbols and formula are an important part of communication among scientists?
The Symbols provide a shorthand method for representing elements and compounds, and how they react with each other. The formula's represent compounds.
Why do scientists work together?
Scientists work together because, if one scientist get an answer wrong the other scientists might get it right and this is the same with experiments
Why do scientists not use water as a solvent?
Because .
Why is is important to use a closed system when conducting experiments to determine the conservation of mass?
Because in an open system matter is leaving and entering, which would change the mass, effecting your results.

Why is it important for scientists not to give up?
Because then they keep trying it to get it right.
Why is it important for scientists to use a standard system of measurement?
Because it is difficult for scientists to discuss with each other and it will make scientific problems more complex.
Why is open mindedness important for scientists?
You can't have bias because of your hypothesis. It's important to have an open mind.
Quality and accuracy are not important to scientists.?
No. Quality and accuracy are incredibly important to scientists. If an experiment is not performed with quality and accuracy it is not valid. However, if accuracy is not especially important, possibly because the result will be the same, then it can be ignored.
