Answer:

Best:

because their valence electrons absorb light

Minor:

because their valence electrons move to higher energy levels

Explanation:

When the electrons absorb light, they absorb this energy and they have a tedency to jump and get promoted to the high energy level.

As a result, they release out energy after being promoted. This energy is in form of light

The half life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73 x 10 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Age of the atifact is $4.2\times 10^{2}$ years

Explanation:

For first -order radioactive decay- $A_{t}=A_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$
$A_{t}$ represents activity of radioactive nuclide after t time, $A_{0}$ represents initial activity of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ represents half-life
Here, $A_{t}=19Bq$ , $A_{0}=20Bq$ and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=5.73\times 10^{3}years$
