Answer:
A binary covalent compound is composed of two different elements (usually nonmetals). For example, a molecule of chlorine trifluoride, ClF3 contains 1 atom of chlorine and 3 atoms of fluorine.
Rule 1. The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. Exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the name of the halogen is the first word in the name.
Rule 2. If both elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first in the name.
Rule 3. The second element in the name is named as if it were an anion, i.e., by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., fluorine = F, "fluoride" = F-; sulfur = S, "sulfide" = S2-).
Rule 4. Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the chemical formula for the compound. Exception: if the compound contains one atom of the element that is written first in the name, the prefix "mono-" is not used.
Explanation:
Ions have an extra or lost an electron. Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
Answer:
Explanation:
There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.
The half time of C-14 5730 years
Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.
All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.
Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant
