The equation for the beta decay of 14C: 614C --> 714N + -10e where the e is an electron.
Nuclear decay in general is not predictable
No, carbon dating does not use nuclear fusion. Carbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials by measuring the remaining levels of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. This process involves the decay of carbon-14, not nuclear fusion.
Carbon-14.
Nuclear forces are the exact forces in carbon-14 that transforms a neutron into a proton. The actual process includes alpha decay, beta decay, relative dating, and absolute dating.
Well, darling, when nitrogen-13 undergoes beta decay, it turns into carbon-13. The nuclear equation for this sassy transformation is N-13 -> C-13 + e- + anti-neutrino. So, there you have it, a little nuclear magic for your curious mind.
The most common is carbon 14.
Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, becoming nitrogen-14 which is stable.
Caebon-14 is a radioactive isotope and can decay.
The symbol of carbon-14 (not equation) is 14C.
Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, transforming into nitrogen-14 by emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This process occurs naturally over time in organic material, allowing for radiocarbon dating to determine the age of archaeological artifacts and fossils. The decay of carbon-14 follows a predictable half-life of approximately 5,730 years.
