A. The radioactive decay equation is N = N0
where T is the
half-life (5730 years), N0 is the number of atoms at time t = 0 and
N is the number at time t.
Rewriting this as:
(N/N0) =
Since N = (1/8) N0 and
substituting known values:
1/8 = 
Taking ln of both
sides:
ln(1/8)= -ln(2)*t/5730
t = - 5730 * ln(1/8) /
ln (2)
t = 17,190 years
The tree was cut down 17,190
years ago.
B. N0 = 1,500,000 carbon-14 atoms
Since N = (1/8) N0
N = 187,500 carbon
atoms left
The correct answer is - deflation.
The process of deflation can be caused by the winds. It is an erosive process in which the main role has the wind that is carrying lot of sediment in the shape of very small particles with it.
Through this process, the winds manage to erode large areas, especially in the drier places where the vegetation is very sparsely distributed. By this type of erosion, the winds manage to make lot of hollows that can range significantly in size. The hollows made by the deflation can be anywhere from few cm deep and several meters long, up to several km long and 50-60 meters of depth.
This is the process that is responsible for the creation of most of the oasis in the largest desert in the world, Sahara, some even being lowered enough to be under the sea level.
Answer:
B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable
Explanation:
The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :
X: 1s2 2s2 2p6
Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.
To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X can gain 2 atoms to become stable.
Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.
Hence, the correct option is "B".
