To determine the age of fairly recent fossils and organic artifacts, it is possible to analyze the amounts of the isotopes 14C a

nd 14N, because over time the 14C—which originated in the atmosphere—breaks down into 14N. What net change occurred for this to happen?

Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).

Explanation:

Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).

Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:

^{14} C \rightarrow\ ^{14} N\ +\ e^-  +\ neutrino

After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.

Explain how the structure and bonding in bromine account for it's relatively low melting point. [3]
Sever21 [200]
Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure the intermolecular bonds of bromine are weak bcz they are weak vandervaal forces thats why Bromines melting point is low..In short when intermolecular bomds are weak the M.P is lower

The pressure in car tires is often measured in pounds per square inch ( lb/in.2 ), with the recommended pressure being in the ra
Goshia [24]

when we convert 32.5 lb/in² to atmosphere, the result obtained is 2.21 atm

<h3>Conversion scale</h3>

14.6959 lb/in² = 1 atm

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Pressure (in lb/in²) = 32.5 lb/in²
  • Pressure (in ATM) =?

<h3>How to convert 32.5 lb/in² to atm</h3>

14.6959 lb/in² = 1 atm

Therefore

32.5 lb/in² = 32.5 / 14.6959

32.5 lb/in² = 2.21 atm

Thus, 32.5 lb/in² is equivalent to 2.21 atm

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is a(n)______ , of which there are 92
Nadusha1986 [10]

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.

Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Name the type of ion formed by the atom when it loses three electrons. Show by illustration
Nimfa-mama [501]
The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons and become ions. Ions are charged particles that have gained or lost electrons. The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons to form monatomic ions (made from a single atom of an element).
