The tendency of an element to react is closely related to
Bad White [126]
C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)

Why isn't carbon-14 dating accurate for estimating the age of materials older than 50,000 years?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Carbon-14 is radioactive isotope of carbon.
Carbon is essential element of living cells. While the living cells are alive, the carbon contained in them are in equilibrium with the carbon in atmosphere. But, once the cell dies, the carbon-14 isotope undergoes radioactive decay. By measuring the carbon-14 in atmosphere to the carbon-14 in dead organism, we can calculate the time (or years) that organism have died.

However, carbon-14 dating technique is not accurate for estimating the age of materials older than 50,000 years old (above 40,000 years). This is because, 99% of carbon is carbon-12, 1% is carbon-13 and trace remaining is the carbon-14. This means, carbon-14 is found in very trace amount, in fact 1 part per trillion of carbon atoms present is carbon-14. The half of life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. For dating the organism, we use the concept of half lives of the carbon-14 isotope in the dead organisms and calculate how many half life old the sample is. But as the years increases, the number of carbon-14 isotope becomes too low to detect and make accurate calculation.
This means, at some point the organism can simply run out of carbon-14.

Hence carbon-14 dating is not accurate for estimating age of materials older than 50,000 years old.
