Answer: Carbon-14 isotope is used to date ancient artifacts such as fossils.

Explanation:

To determine the age of ancient artifacts such as fossils, we use radiocarbon dating process.

In this process, a naturally occurring radioisotope of carbon which is Carbon-14 is used. This isotope is generally used because this isotope gets constantly created in the atmosphere with the interaction of cosmic rays with the nitrogen present in atmosphere.

Hence, an isotope of carbon which is Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of ancient artifacts such as fossils.

Which action will slow down the rate of a reaction
Burka [1]

Answer is - Decreasing surface area of a solid reactant, rate of reaction can be slowed down.

Explanation: The quantity of a reactant species consumed or the quantity of product species formed in unit time in a chemical reaction is called rate of reaction. With passage of time, concentration of reactant decreases and concentration of product increases. Rate of reaction depends on various factors like- concentration of reactant, temperature, nature of reactant, catalyst and surface area of reactant.

By increasing the concentration of the reactants, rate of the reaction increases.

Presence of catalyst increases the rate of reaction.

With increase in temperature, kinetic energy of molecules increases which results to more number of effective collisions, so, rate of reaction increases.

With increase in the surface area of reactant, more number of molecules can react at a time and by decreasing the surface area of solid reactant rate of the reaction will  diminish/ decrease.

What’s the difference between snow and water
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: Hello, Though ice and snow are both made up of water, there is a difference between the two. Snow is nothing but the frozen atmospheric vapour which falls in winters on earth as light flakes whereas ice is simply frozen water.

Draw the structure of ozone according to VSEPR theory. What would be its associated molecular geometry?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Ozone's molecular geometry can be described as bent.

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of the O3 groups has a trigonal planar arrangement.

Here is a quick explanation of the molecular geometry of O3 including a quick description of the O3 bond angles.

Examining the  Lewis structure of  O3 we can see that there are a pair of unbounded valence electrons at the top of the structure.

Based on VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) these electrons will repel the electron clouds of the two oxygen atoms on the end.

As a result they will be pushed down giving the 03 molecule a bent molecular geometry or shape.

The 03 bond angle will be 116° degrees since it has a Bent molecular geometry
