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.

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 =)


What is radium silver?

Radium silver is a type of silver alloy that contains a small amount of radium. This alloy was used in the early 20th century to produce luminous dials for watches and clocks due to radium's ability to glow in the dark. However, radium is radioactive and poses health risks, leading to the discontinuation of its use in consumer products.


What is the ionization energy of radium and how does it compare to other elements in the periodic table?

The ionization energy of radium is 509.3 kJ/mol. This value is relatively high compared to other elements in the periodic table, indicating that radium requires a significant amount of energy to remove an electron from its atom.

How many total atoms in radium cyanide?

Radium cyanide has the chemical formula Ra(CN)₂. In this compound, one radium (Ra) atom is present along with two cyanide (CN) groups, each containing one carbon (C) atom and one nitrogen (N) atom. Therefore, the total number of atoms in radium cyanide is 1 (Ra) + 2 (C) + 2 (N) = 5 atoms.
