Explanation:
When an atom's outermost orbital gains or loses electrons (also known as valence electrons), the atom forms an ion. An ion with more protons than electrons carries a net positive charge and is called a cation. An ion with more electrons than protons carries a net negative charge and is called an anion
Answer:
The age of the sample is 4224 years.
Explanation:
Let the age of the sample be t years old.
Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%
Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = ![[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_o%5D)
Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%
Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = ![[A]=0.06[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.06%5BA_o%5D)
Half life of the carbon-14 = 
![[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-kt%7D)
![[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B0.693%7D%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%7D%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
![0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.60%5BA_o%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B0.693%7D%7B5730%20year%7D%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
Solving for t:
t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years
The age of the sample is 4224 years.
Find it on google i’m pretty sure i saw it somewhere so sorry this doesn’t help
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer
electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic
table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is
energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right
hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their
outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them.
Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive
charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons
(negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to
complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has
more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).
