I know that we can find how old the Earth is by knowing how much uranium ultimately decayed into lead. Uranium-238 has a very long to decay, about 4.5 billion years. So that is how we are able to understand how old the Earth is.

5 , I think. sorry if its wrong
Answer:
- <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.
Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.
The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:
- Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge
- Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.
- Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.
So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.
Answer:
= 25 g
Explanation:
Using the formula;
A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount of the substance,
t is the time and
h is the half-life of the substance,
In this case; the half life of U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.
A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)
A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)
= 24.88
<u> = 25 g</u>
