How many protons and electrons are present in a barium atom?

Chemistry

To solve this problem, we can look it up on the periodic table.

Barium has a mass number of 56, also the 56th element on the table. Mass number actually is equal to the number of protons, proton number of an element is like an ID card number, which no other elements have the same. So, the number of protons is 56.

Electrons of an atom equals to the number of proton too. So the number of electrons of barium atom is also 56. If the number of electrons is changed, the atom is no longer an atom, it'll become ions.

So yes, both answer is 56.

The decay of radioactive elements occurs at a fixed rate. The half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for one half of t
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

100 grams of C-14 decays to 25 grams in 11,460 years.

The C-14 isotope is only useful for dating fossils up to about 50,000 years old

If an ancient bone contains 6.25% of its original carbon, then the bone must be 22,920 years old.

Explanation:

We already know that the half life of C-14 is 5,730 years. After the first half life, we have 50 grams remaining. This takes 5,730 years. After the second half life (11,460 years now gone) we have 25 grams of C-14  left.

If a fossil material is  older than 50,000 years an undetectable amount of 14C is left in the sample hence Carbon-14 is no longer suitable for dating the sample.

From;

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (No/0.0625No)

Where;

t = time taken and No = initial amount of C-14

0.693/5730= 2.77/t

t = 22,920 years
