Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: Uranium- 238 is an unstable isotope of uranium. It is one of the most effective isotope used for radioactive dating in order to determine the age of a rock that is about billions of years old. It contains an unstable nucleus that undergoes continuous decay, until it reaches a stable environment. It has a half life of approximately 4.5 billion years and majority of the uranium that are present on earth at present are all uranium- 238 and they are constantly decaying. When uranium completely decays, it then gets converted into lead, which is a stable element.

The most common radioactive method used to date rocks is Uranium-Lead dating method.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Please help me out i don’t get this. what is the answers to 1-4.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

1. A circuit is a path that electricity flows along. It starts at a power source, like a battery, and flows through a wire to a light bulb or other object and back to other side of the power source.

2. A series circuit is one that has more than one resistor, but only one path through which the electricity (electrons) flows. All the components in a series circuit are connected end-to-end. A resistor in a circuit is anything that uses some of the power from the cell.

3. A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the electric current passes through two or more branches or connected parts at the same time before it combines again. Compare.

4. BOTH - 1. lightbulb 2. battery 3. switch

   SERIES- 1. Ammeter 2. voltmeter

i'm not sure about the rest sorry :(

Entropy can be thought of as the degree of disorganization of a system.<br> TRUE<br> FALSE
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The entropy of a system denoted by S is a thermodynamic function that increases in value when there are more ways to arrange the particles in the system. Some spontaneous chemical processes are entropy driven. An increase in entropy is said to drive the dissolution of ionic salts along with the evaporation of water are related to the spreading out of energy.

The entropy of a system can be taken as a measure of disorder of a system. In a spontaneous chemical process, the entropy of the universe is said to increase. ΔSunivu>0. Making the answer true.
