Answer:

The planets themselves are composed of several trillions or quadrillions or more atoms. As far as hard science is concerned, it would be really hard to picture them as electrons. Conclusion: It can be said with a great accuracy that our planets are NOT huge electrons.

Rutherford's experiments showed that the mass of atoms was mostly concentrated in a very small region, with charge equal to the atomic number- the nucleus. He absolutely did not show, nor is it true, that electrons orbit the nucleus as if they were planets. That was a guess people made in trying to figure out how to picture the atom.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$3.106\ \text{g}$

Explanation:

$t_{1/2}$ = Half-life of carbon = 5700 years

t = Time at which the remaining mass is to be found = 10400 years

$m_0$ = Initial mass of carbon = 11 g

Decay constant is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

Amount of mass remaining is given by

$m=m_0e^{-\lambda t}\\\Rightarrow m=m_0e^{-\dfrac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}} t}\\\Rightarrow m=11e^{-\dfrac{\ln 2}{5700}\times 10400}\\\Rightarrow m=3.106\ \text{g}$
