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.

Setler79 [48]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) endothermic reaction.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.

Electronic configuration, also called electronic structure, is the arrangement of electrons in energy levels around an atomic nucleus.

a.

x=1s^2

Y= 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Z= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

b.

x= Period 1 and group18

Y=Element is in period 3 and Group 2

Z=Element is in period 3 and group 17.

c.

X, Y & Z represents Helium, magnesium, and chlorine.

Which statement is true?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: c. Matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of matter, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

For every chemical reaction, the law of conservation of energy is applicable which states that the energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  It can be transformed from one form to another.
