What else can I help you with?
What isotope serves as the current standard for the atomic mass scale?
with C14 atom
What is C14 in chemistry?
In chemistry, C14 refers to Carbon-14, which is a radioactive isotope of carbon. It is used in radiocarbon dating to determine the age of organic materials. Carbon-14 is formed in the atmosphere through the interaction of cosmic rays with nitrogen.
What number is written after the isotope when writing the name?
The atomic mass number of that isotope. So C14 has a molecular mass of 14 grams/mole U238, 238 grams/mole
Radioactive form of this element is used in dating ancient objects?
C14 (carbon) isotope (mass number 14 that is, in stead of 12) if it is of organic origin, eg. wood, coal, mummy's clothe
Why cant we use carbon-14 to date the rocks?
Carbon 14 is absorbed by living organisms. When they die, they stop absorbing carbon 14 and the isotope then decays. Form the time of death of the organism, the quantity of C14, as a proportion of the total carbon in the organism declines and, measuring that decrease allows the age (or time of death) of the organism to be determined.

with C14 atom
How are the isotope carbon-12 and carbon-14 different from ech other?
The number of neutrons (and the fact that C14 is radioactive).

An atom of an element is electrically neutral becaue the?
carbon exists as 3 naturally isotopes c12 c13 c14 as he number of neutrons increase in the isotope the nuclear charge
What is the c-14 c-12 ratio used to date once living organisms?
It is because living organisms absorb C14 from their environment. After death, they are no longer capable of absorbing any more C14. So, at the time of death, the C14 : C12 ratio is fixed. C14 undergoes radioactive decay (into C12) so the C14 : C12 ratio declines and that can be used as a measure of the time since death.

What are the release dates for C14 - 2013?
C14 - 2013 was released on: USA: 30 October 2013 (limited)
What is the symbol for the radioactive isotope known as Carbon 14?
The symbol for the radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is ^14C. The superscript 14 indicates the mass number of the isotope, which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The letter C represents the chemical element carbon.
Nucleus of carbon atom?
Nucleus of the standard isotope of carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (carbon 12). Other Isotopes of carbon atoms are also possible, such as C14, which has 8 neutrons, and decays by beta particle emission into nitrogen.
Can carbon dating be used on a stone to determine it's age?
It is not possible to carbon date rocks. Carbon 14 dating is based on the absorption of atmospheric carbon by livingthings. When the thing dies it no longer takes in carbon from the atmosphere through processes such as eating or respiration and levels of C14 in the body deplete due to the natural process of radioactive decay. By seeing how much C14 remains it is possible to see how long it has been since that animal died.However there are a range of other dating methods which can be used.
