First, you need to determine how many half-lives the sample has undergone. Since 67.7% has been lost, that means that 100% - 67.7% = 32.3% has been retained. So calculate the logarithm to base 2 of 0.323:
log(0.323)/log(2) = -0.490797478/0.301029996 = -1.63039393
The number -1.63039393 tells you that 1.63039393 half-lives have occurred since the mastodon died. A quick sanity check will assure you that this is true. Because after 1 half live, there would be 50% of the carbon-14 remaining. And after another half life, there would be 25% of the original carbon-14 remaining. And since 32.3% is between 25% and 50%, the value of 1.63 half lives is quite reasonable. Now just multiply the number of half lives expended by the half life of carbon-14.
1.63039393 * 5750 = 9374.765097
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives us 9370 years.</span>
Convection currents are flowing fluid that is moving because there is a temperature or density difference within the material. ... A temperature difference leads to an energy transfer from an area of higher energy to one of lower energy. Convection is a heat transfer process.
Answer:
[He]2s2 2p
Explanation:
group 16 elements, also known as the chalcogens have 6 valence electrons, and hence they can achieve noble gas configuration either by gaining 2 electrons or by sharing two electrons i.e., by forming M2- ions, or forming two covalent bonds. The oxidation state of elements is defined as the number of electrons gained or lost to form a bond and its sign is the indication of ionic charge on the element. Oxygen is the most electronegative element after fluorine. The difference in electronegativity between metals and oxygen is generally very high. We know that ionic bond is formed when the difference in electronegativity of any two elements is very high. Thus, metals and oxygen combine to form a metal oxide with oxygen attaining O2- form, so the oxidation state of oxygen is mostly (-II).
