Carbon-14 and Uranium-238 have something we call a half live, which is basically a known time period for it to change half of its C-14 or U-238 radioactively decay. Since we know how long that is 5730 years for Carbon-14 for half a sample to deteriorate, than we can figure out how old it is.
<span>The biogeochemical cycle that has the least activity because its essential element is mostly stored in rock is the phosphorus cycle. Phosphorus, unlike the other essential elements, is commonly found as a solid. This is why the atmosphere does not play a role in this cycle. Instead, phosphorus remains on land, and is mostly found in rocks and minerals.</span>
Answer:
Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.
Explanation:
Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable
Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.
Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.
While
Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.
Covalent bond involves sharing.
Distance and period of time
