There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.

The half time of C-14 5730 years

Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.

All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.

Describe the structure of ammonium lauryl sulfate. Refer to the given diagram. Your answer should include the type of bonding, t

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The compound contains lauryl sulfate and ammoium ions. Lauryl sulfate contains lauric acid (in black and white) , the fatty acid formed by the covalent bonds between C-C attached to hydrogens, and sulfate ions attached to lauric acid (in red) with C-S covalent bond. Sulfer is attached to oxygen by covalent bonds. In Ammonium ions, N is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms.
