For group 16 elements, the atomic radii increases down the group as a shell of electron is added on each time.
Electrons basically ARE the chemical bond. The atoms are joined together by the bonds.
Alpha and Beta particles can be stopped by our skin. Gamma particles cannot be stopped by our skin.
<u>Answer:</u> The tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal
<u>Explanation:</u>
The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

where,
= half life of the reaction = 5715 years
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:
![k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.303%7D%7Bt%7D%5Clog%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_o%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D)
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time taken for decay process = ? yr
= initial amount of the sample = 100 grams
[A] = amount left after decay process = 13 grams
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal
