The correct option is B.
Isotopes refers to those chemical compounds which have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons, so they end up having different mass numbers.  The diagram given above is that of beryllium, which has atomic number 4 and it has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. It has four protons [same as the number of electrons] and 5 neutrons. Beryllium 10, which is its isotope has four electrons, four protons and 6 neutrons. To get the number of neutron, remove the number of electrons from the number given in the option, that is, 10 - 4 = 6.

Choose the FALSE statement.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.

Explanation:

The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.

The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.

  • All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
  • The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.

What happens when you run liquid air or nitrogen through a gas turbine
lidiya [134]

Answer:

When a low cost fuel is available, internal combustion drivers surpass all others in compactness and low cost of installation and operation. For example, gas compression on a large scale has long been done with integral engine compressors.
