Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty of accuracy.

Relative dating<span> is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e., the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their </span>absolute age<span>, (i.e. estimated age). In geology, </span>rock<span> or </span>superficial deposits<span>, </span>fossils<span> and </span>lithologies<span> can be used to correlate one </span>stratigraphic column<span> with another. Prior to the discovery of </span>radiometric dating<span> which provided a means of </span>absolute dating<span> in the early 20th century, </span>archaeologists<span> and </span>geologists<span> used this technique to </span>determine ages<span> of materials. Though relative dating can only determine the </span>sequential order<span> in which a series of events occurred, not </span>when<span> they occur, it remains a useful technique especially in radiometric dating. Relative dating by </span>biostratigraphy<span> is the preferred method in </span>paleontology<span>, and is in some respects more accurate (Stanley, 167–69). The </span>Law of Superposition<span>, which states that older layers will be deeper in a site than more recent layers, was the summary outcome of 'relative dating' as observed in geology from the 17th century to the early 20th century.</span>

What does the number of valence electrons determine?
N76 [4]

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an element on the periodic table. Atoms want to be able to have a full outer shell and they can share or trade electrons in order to achieve this. Valence electrons are also super super important in chemical reactions. The number of valence electrons determines what group that specific atom or element is in on the periodic table. This affects the reactivity of the element.
