Answer:

Radiocarbon dating

Explanation:

The radiocarbon dating method is used in order to determine the age of an object (fossil) by using the unstable radioactive Carbon isotopes. It is very widely used and is efficient for dating objects that are of very recent age.

The half life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5700 years. The half life is defined as the time required to decay half of its original composition. The carbon-14 is an unstable element and after it is completely decayed, it turns into Nitrogen-14, which is a stable element.

How many unpaired electrons would you expect on iron in [fe(h2o6] 3+?
MrMuchimi
The iron (III) has 5 valence electrons and the complex is in a octahedral geometry. Since water as a ligand has a small splitting energy, the complex will be a high spin and all of the five electrons will be unpaired.
