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 molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and
nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:
C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22
H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25
N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22
Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:
C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5
N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
So the empirical formula is:
CHN
No. Oxygen isn't even a metal.
Alkaline earth metals are the elements of the second column of the periodic table.

Answer:
Electromagnetic force, Strong nuclear force, and Weak nuclear force.
Explanation:
Forces acting
electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. The electromagnetic force keeps the electrons attached to the atom. The strong nuclear force keeps the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. The weak nuclear force controls how the atom decays.
