Answer:

Different types of isotopes are used for different materials or objects. For radiometric dating, uranium-235 is considered best for it while carbon-14 is used for dating of rocks. It is also used for dating of wood samples.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 and uranium-235 are used for different materials or objects for measuring the age of these materials. These two isotopes are radioactive in nature which means they emit gamma radiations which allow us to find the age of different objects. Carbon-14 has a low half life so it can be used for those objects which are present before thousands of years while uranium-235 is used for materials which are millions of years old due to high half life.

ankoles [38]

Neon has filled its outer shells, therefore it is very stable and does not need to react with other elements and doesn’t form compounds.

How do hydroxyl ions and hydronium ions affect pH?

Nookie1986 [14]

Hydroxyl ions are OH⁻ while hydronium ions are H₃O⁺ which is essentially H⁺ ions. The formula for pH is: pH = -log[H⁺]. So, the greater the concentration of H⁺ is, the lower the pH which indicates acidity. On the other hand, the greater the concentration of OH⁻, the greater the pH which indicates basicity. This is also a consequence of the equation: pH + pOH = 14.
