Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Very old rocks would be been formed before said isotopes with short half-lives. We're thinking of a very long geological time. The original rock might be rock C, then years and years later rock Y would be measured. Y can't match C since there's too much unknowns in between.

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.

hope this helps but if i'm wrong then i'm sorry..

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

What are the dependent and independent variables? (Picture^^)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

X axis shows the independent and Y axis shows the dependent.

Explanation:

  • As the independent variable is always plotted on the X-axis of the graph the Y-axis shows the dependent variable that is affected by the X variables Time is an independent variable and is always shown along the X-axis.  
  • Such as the image showed tells about the data of N2O biofuel emissions from 2009-10. Thus this will be plotted along the X-axis and Y-axis will show the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied.

I need help with this question and an explanation- What is a Geyser? How is it made?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth's surface that runs deep into the crust. The tube is filled with water. Near the bottom of the tube is molten rock called magma, which heats the water in the tube. ... Its powerful jet of steam ejects the column of water above it.
