Which is more prevalent in the food we eat: carbon-12 or carbon-14?

1 answer:

5 0

I think the more prevalent in the food we eat is Carbon-12 which is present in Most of the food we ingest. Both carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, they differ in the number of neutrons in each atom. Because of the different number of neutrons, carbon-12 and carbon-14 differ with respect to radioactivity. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope but carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay.

Marvin records scientific data about Lake Superior. For which property has Marvin forgotten to use an SI unit of measurement?

Illusion [34]

Answer: low temperature

Explanation:-

S.I or M.K.S is a system for defining physical units as meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin or celcius, candela, and mole together with a set of prefixes to indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten for measuring length, mass, time , current, temperature and amount of substance respectively.

Given :

lake length = 563 kilometers = $563\times 10^3m$

High temperature = $76.5^0F$

Low temperature = $-6.3^0C$

annual precipitation =762 mm= $762\times 10^{-3}m$

Thus low temperature in units of Fahrenheit is not an S.I unit of measurement.

How is an elements outer electron configuration related to its position in the periodic table?

Umnica [9.8K]

Well, if you look at group 1 of the periodic table, you will notice a thrend. All elements in group 1 have 1 valence / outer electron. Then you look at period 2, 3, 4 and so on, you will see that the group number corresponds the number of valence/ outershell electrons. Hence, the group determines the electron(s) on the outershell.
