1. Metals are the best conductors because their electrons run freely (Copper, gold, silver...) .
2. Nonmetals are insulators because they have a tight hold on their electrons (Glass, plastic, wood...).
I agree with the person on top have a good day:)
Answer:
RNA is single-stranded and composed of nitrogenous bases, a phosphate group, and pentose sugar.
Explanation:
RNA is different from DNA because instead of having two matching bases; it is only made of one strand of nitrogenous bases. These bases are attached to the phosphate, which holds the whole strand of RNA together. The sugar acts as a carrier for the bases. The sugar in RNA is known as ribose and contains 5 carbon molecules. This is why it is called pentose sugar.
Carbon-14, the radioactive isotope of carbon used in carbon dating has a half-life of 5730 years, so it decays too fast. It can only be used to date fossils younger than about 75,000 years.
