A wooden object from the site of an ancient temple has a carbon-14 activity of 10 counts/min compared with a reference piece of

wood cut today that has an activity of 40 counts/min. If the half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 y, what is the age of the ancient wood object?

Answer:

Age of the ancient wood object is 11460 years.

Explanation:

We know that half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 years. That means the activity of the sample will decrease to half every 5730 years.

Now we construct the following table:

activity (counts/min)        age of the wooden object

      40                                                  0

      20                                               5730

      10                                                11460

Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?
EastWind [94]
The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
