<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 11,460 years

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>

<em>The initial amount of carbon-14 in this case was 1 whole; thus; </em>

<em>1 → 1/2 →1/4</em>

<em>To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives have passed. </em>

<em>But, 1 half life = 5,730 years</em>

<em>Therefore; The artifact is is therefore: 2 x 5,730 </em>

<em>          = 11,460 years </em>

The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years
To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives must have passed.
The artifact is: 2 x 5,730
= 11,460 years older than the atmosphere.

The model after John Dalton's was J.J Thompson's plum podding model in 1897, which described electrons as dots or raisins(if you will) in a circle shaped pudding that was entirely positive using a Cathode Ray Tube(shot cathode rays between magnets). The model after that is the Niels Bohr model in 1913, which depicts atoms like positively charged center called the nucleus with negatively charged particles called electrons in a shell or cloud.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom.

Explanation:

Atoms are composed of three subatomic particle; electron, proton and neutron. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged whereas neutrons are neutral, hence does not have any charge.

Out of three, protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom.

Nucleus is the central part of the atom possessing most of the mass of the atom. In the nucleus, protons and neutrons are tightly packed with the help of nuclear force.

Electrons are present around the nucleus also called electron cloud.

Therefore, nucleus are composed of protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom
