Why is carbon used to date things that were once living?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natali [406]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a - carbon is not toxic to living things

Explanation:

The reason carbon dating works is that the fresh carbon-14 gets mixed in with the rest of the carbon in the atmosphere and, since it's chemically identical to regular carbon, gets worked into whatever is presently absorbing atmospheric carbon

Why doesn’t a convection current form when a liquid is heated at the top?
DaniilM [7]

If the heating is done on one small area on the top, there will be convection. If the heating is restricted to a small fraction of the heating area, then within that area the heating will go deeper than anywhere else on the surface. Then unheated area will have a shallower region of high temperature. Then some convection will occur in the deeper layers, causing some motion on top.

This happens quite a bit during welding. Convection is very significant in welding, even when the heating is from the top.

Answer:

✔️Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.

✔️The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom

✔️The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.

✔️The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.

Explanation:

Ionic bond refers to the bond formation which occurs when there is complete and permanent transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom. The metals, which are electropositive (less electronegative) loose their electrons while the non-metals, which are less electropositive (more electronegative) gain the electrons.

When the metal atom looses electrons, they form cations(become positively charged) while non-metal atom forms anions (become negatively charged). When the opposite charges attract each other, they form ionic bond.

A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A proton has a charge of +1, while an electron has a charge of -1. This is why a neutral atom has the same number of protons as electrons.

Neutrons have no charge, hence their name neutron which is similar to neutral.
