Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5.730 years. 
Using the formula;
New mass = original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives (in this case n=1 ) 
New mass = 2 g × (1/2)^1     
                  = 1 g
Therefore; the mass of carbon-14 that remains will be 1 g

How does an elements period number related to the number of the energy level of its valence electrons?
Mrac [35]
<span>There is a direct correlation between the period number and the energy level for valence electrons. For example, the H and He elements, in period 1, have their outer electrons in the energy level "1". This continues down the rows: all the elements in period 2 have their principal energy level as n = 2, period 3 has n = 3, and so on.</span>

Is photosphere the layer that emits sunlight?​
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

In our Sun, as in other stars, roughly 99.9% or so of all light emitted is emitted in a thin layer known as the photosphere, or light sphere. This is explained as follows. Interior to the photosphere the gas is ever denser and becomes far too opaque for any photon to emerge directly from that layer.
