The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years
Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years
Equation of radioactive decay:
A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂
Thus, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%
Answer:
You take the atomic, or proton number of the element, and you subtract it from the element's mass number.
Answer:
Explanation:
Water is a conductor if it has solutes/ions dissolved in it(tapwater for example)
