It is applicable to dating geological samples old from 104 to 2.106 years.
The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
Electron configuration of uranium is: [Rn]5f36d17s2
Through Radiocarbon dating, the age of an object can be determined by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon. This method was invented by Willard Libby in the late 1940s.
- after a severe intoxication (ingestion of an important mass of soluble uranium compounds); uranium is toxic and radioactive. - after inhalation of uranium dust on long periods; uranium and the released radon are the cause of lung cancers in this case. - after the explosion of a critical mass of enriched uranium - if you are between the victims of a nuclear weapons bombarment, using uranium in the bombs
The limitations are that it only dates the ages of rocks.

Archeologists determine how old an object is, by using Carbon Dating.
By using carbon dating.

The carbon-14 dating method differs by using the decay of carbon-14 isotopes to determine the age of organic materials up to around 50,000 years old, while potassium-argon and uranium-lead methods are used for dating older rocks and minerals. Carbon-14 dating is primarily used for relatively recent materials, while potassium-argon and uranium-lead methods are used for dating geological samples millions to billions of years old.
This is known as radiometric dating.
Can be used in living or were living things and large things.
Actually the earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. It was determined using several different dating methods, including uranium-lead radioactivity dating, zircon dating, etc.
Geologists determine the absolute age of rocks using radiometric dating techniques, such as carbon dating or uranium-lead dating. These methods rely on measuring the proportions of radioactive isotopes and their decay products in the rocks to calculate how long ago they formed.
