Use Table 1: Analysis of Decay in the laboratory guide to answer this question: Scientists find a piece of wood that is thought

to be from an ancient fire circle. They find that the wood contains an amount of carbon-14 (14C) that is approximately 1/16 of the current atmospheric 14C levels. Determine approximately how many years ago the tree was chopped down to be used for the firewood. If you started with 1 million carbon-14 atoms, how many atoms would remain in the wood? 14C has a t1/2 of 5,750 years.

<span>We are given the initial amount of 1 million carbon-14 atoms and the final amount which is 1/16 of the current atmospheric 14C levels. Also, the half life of carbon is </span>5,750 years. WE can use the decay formula

Aₓ = A₀e^-(ln2/t1/2)t
1,000,000(1/16) = (1,000,000)e^-(ln2/5750)t
t = 23,000 years

Which of the following properly describes the movement of atoms as they represent the states of matter? Atoms making liquids hav
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Atoms making liquids have less attraction than solids, but more than gases

Explanation:

The attraction between atoms in different molecules in a solid is very strong due to strong intermolecular forces present in a solid. However, such intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids than in solids.

This implies that the solid has higher intermolecular forces of attraction compared to gases and liquids. Based on the negligible degree of intermolecular forces between them, a gas has the weakest intermolecular forces hence the atom has very minimal interaction between them.
