The half-life of carbon-14 is approximately 5,730 years. This means that after this period, half of the original 100 atoms of carbon-14 would remain, resulting in 50 atoms. After another 5,730 years, half of those would remain, leaving you with 25 atoms. This process continues, with the number of carbon-14 atoms halving every 5,730 years.
To determine the age of the artifact, you can use the formula for exponential decay of radioactive elements: (N = N_0 \times (1/2)^{t/T}), where N is the final amount (3.1% of the original), N0 is the initial amount (100%), t is the time passed, and T is the half-life (5730 years). By substituting the values, you can solve for t, which will give you the age of the artifact.
700 milliion years. The definition of half-life is the period of time during which one-half of the atoms of an element undergo decay into other elements.
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
Yes, but it has a halflife of only 0.86 seconds.

No. 100 lead atoms are several times heavier than 100 aluminum atoms.
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.
Yes.
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.

There are 118 known elements, not 100 types of atoms. Elements are made up of atoms with specific numbers of protons in the nucleus. The first 92 elements occur naturally, with the rest being synthetic and created in laboratories.
If there are 100 types of atoms, then the number of different compounds that could form by pairing any two atoms is calculated by using the combination formula: C(100, 2) = 100! / [(100-2)! * 2!] = 4950 different compounds.
If all the magnesium atoms are going to react, they will each need to combine with two oxygen atoms to form magnesium oxide. Therefore, for 100 magnesium atoms, you would need 200 oxygen atoms, which is equivalent to 100 oxygen molecules.
