The atomic structure of isotope?
the atomic structure of an isotope is cyristal like
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
Remains the same
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 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.
What do scientists use to determine a fossil's relative age?
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)

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.
What is the mass number of carbon14?
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
What do scientists use to determine a fossil's relative age?
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
What percent of carbon14 is left after 5 half-lives?
3.125% would be left over.
What is the opposites of an isotope?
There is no such thing as 'the opposite of an isotope, like asking the opposite of water or gold etc. Related to 'isotope' is element or atom, but they are no 'opposites' of it.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in carbon14?
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
How can an isotope like carbon be used to date dead organisms?
An isotope like carbon-14 can be used to date dead organisms by counting the atoms with a machine.
Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?
It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.
