The age of the ancient piece of wood that she located given the data is 1482 years

How to determine the number of half-lives

Original amount (N₀) = 100%

Amount remaining (N) = 83%

Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 100 / 83

2ⁿ = 1.2

Take the Log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = Log 1.2

nLog 2 = Log 1.2

Divide both side by Log 2

n = Log 1.2 / Log 2

n = 0.26

How to determine the age

Number of half-lives (n) = 0.26

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 0.26 × 5700

t = 1482 years

Give the name, atomic symbol, and group number of the element with each Z value, and classify it as a metal, metalloid, or nonme
Viktor [21]

Atomic number = 42

Name = Molybdenum

Atomic symbol  = Mo

Group number = VI(B)6

Mo = Metal

How to find all valves of Z=42?

Here, we are going to find out the name, symbol and group numbers element with the following Z value and their classification as a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal.

The atomic number of the element is 42

Therefore, the name of the element is Molybdenum

The atomic symbol of the element is Mo

The group number of  is VI(B)6

Mo is a metal

Hence, the element is  Molybdenum
