They don't.
Carbon-14 has a short half-life and is normally only used by archaeologists or anyone working on sediments less than 50,000 years old. It becomes much less accurate after 40,000 years.
Scientists used many different isotopes for dating rocks in Radiometric Dating, uranium/lead, potassium/argon and others are used. The half-life in some of these isotopes is measured in millions or billions of years.

What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
When uranium-235 is added to natural uranium, it increases the overall percentage of uranium-235 in the mixture. This can make the uranium more suitable for use in nuclear reactors or weapons, as uranium-235 is more fissile (more easily split by neutrons) than uranium-238.
An isotope of uranium using nuclide notation?
The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
What element has 235 mass number?
Uranium-235 is the element with a mass number of 235. It is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Most nuclear power plants use what as a nuclear fuel?
Most nuclear power plants use enriched uranium as a nuclear fuel. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope for nuclear fission reactions in nuclear power plants, where the uranium atoms split, releasing energy.
Are uranium 235 and uranium 238 said to be radioactive molecules since they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?
No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.
What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
When uranium-235 is added to natural uranium, it increases the overall percentage of uranium-235 in the mixture. This can make the uranium more suitable for use in nuclear reactors or weapons, as uranium-235 is more fissile (more easily split by neutrons) than uranium-238.
What letter would a chemist use in front of 235 or 238?
U from uranium235U and 238U (recommended); also possible U-235 and U-238 or uranium-235 and uranium-238.
Uranium-235 is used to fuel nuclear power plants What is the main use of uranium-235?
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
What is the percentage of uranium-235?
Uranium-235 is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.
What percentage of mined uranium is 235?
Approx. 0,7 % uranium 235 in natural uranium.
An isotope of uranium using nuclide notation?
The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
What is the atomic number of uranium and how many neutrons does the isotope uranium-235 have?
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
If the fossil is to old to use uranium 235 dating?
Uranium dating methods were not used for fossils dating.
How many electrons ar in uranium-235?
Uranium 235 (and also all the isotopes of uranium) has 92 electrons.
What kind of uranium did Oak Ridge produce in World War 2 to bomb the Japanese?
Oak Ridge was built to separate Uranium 235 from Uranium 238. Uranium 235 is the fissile isotope of natural Uranium, suitable for use in bombs or power generation. 99+% of Uranium is U 238 and U 235 is less than one per cent.
What element has 235 mass number?
Uranium-235 is the element with a mass number of 235. It is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Most nuclear power plants use what as a nuclear fuel?
Most nuclear power plants use enriched uranium as a nuclear fuel. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope for nuclear fission reactions in nuclear power plants, where the uranium atoms split, releasing energy.
