Answer: potassium oxide.

Explanation:

$K_2O$ is an ionic compound because potassium element is a metal and oxygen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Hence, the name of $K_2O$ is potassium oxide.

Bone age : 22,920 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Nt = 2.5 g C-14

No = 40 g

half-life = 5730 years

Required

time of decay

Solution

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

t = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

Input the value :

$\tt 2.5=40.\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\\dfrac{2.5}{40}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^4=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\4=t/5730\rightarrow t=22920~years$
