Answer:
semimetals or metalloids.
Explanation:
Answer:
A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.
Answer:
A) The temperature at which the particles of matter are at their lowest energy points.
Explanation:
Absolute temperature refers to the lowest possible temperature. At this state, no heat energy remains in the substance; the energy of the particles are at their lowest energy points.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
42960 years
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Remaining mass of C-14 in a bone is 0.3125 g
- Original mass of C-14 on the bone is 80.0 g
- Half life of C-14 is 5370 years
We are required to determine the age of the bone;
- Remaining mass = Original mass × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore;
0.3125 g = 80.0 g × 0.5^n
3.90625 × 10^-3 = 0.5^n
- Introducing logarithm on both sides;
log 3.90625 × 10^-3 = n log 0.5
Solving for n
n = log 3.90625 × 10^-3 ÷ log 0.5
= 8
- Therefore, the number of half lives is 8
- But, 1 half life is 5370 years
- Therefore;
Age of the rock = 5370 years × 8
= 42960 years
Thus, the bone is 42960 years old
