Answer: Uranium-235.

Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of antique objects, including fossils.

The half-life time of the radioactive elements is what permits the process of dating.

The half-life of C-14 is too short to be useful to date too old objects.

Precambrian time is the most antique era. C-14 hal-life is about 5730 years and Precambrian time is millions or billions of years ago. Given that the hal-life of U-235 is 704 million years it is appropiate to date the fossils from the Precambrian era.

Sugar is a covalently linked compound with many atoms. Water is able to dissolve sugar. What does this suggest about the atoms o
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

When you put sugar inside of a cup with water, the sugar is still visible because it's molecules have just gotten in touch with water molecules. The sugar molecules are still attracted to each other but as you stir it, it seems to disappear but not completely. When the water is stirred sugar mix with water and water molecules place themselves between the sugar ones.

Conclusion: It suggests that the sugar molecules are more attracted to water molecules which is why they easily separate from each other.
