Answer: Tin (Sn)
Explanation: The electron configuration for tin (Sn) is shown in the picture. It's last electrons are:
5s^2 4d^10 5p^2
The valence electrons are in the 5th electron shell and include 2 each in the 5s and 5p orbitals.
Radioactive elements obey 1st order kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, relation between rate constant (k) and half life [t(1/2)] is,
k =
Also, for 1st order reaction, we have
t =
Given that: <span>the bones from a mastodon had lost 78.5% of their C14,
</span>∴ initial conc. of C14 = 100%, conc. of C14 left after time 't' = 21.5%
∴t =
= 1.2758 X 10^4 hours
