Charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 years.
<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>
A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).
Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.
In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.

The average atomic mass of Ne is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
Avg. at. mass
= (0.904 83× 19.992 u) + (0.002 71 × 20.994) + (0.092 53× 21.991 u)
= 18.0894 u + 0.0569 u + 2.0348 u = 20.181 u
Cooks should use sea salt in recipes instead of regular table salt.
