<u>Given:</u>
Initial amount of carbon, A₀ = 16 g
Decay model = 16exp(-0.000121t)
t = 90769076 years
<u>To determine:</u>
the amount of C-14 after 90769076 years
<u>Explanation:</u>
The radioactive decay model can be expressed as:
A = A₀exp(-kt)
where A = concentration of the radioactive species after time t
A₀ = initial concentration
k = decay constant
Based on the given data :
A = 16 * exp(-0.000121*90769076) = 16(0) = 0
Ans: Based on the decay model there will be no C-14 left after 90769076 years
Answer:
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴
Explanation:
The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴
Properties of alpha radiations:
Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.
Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.
These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.
These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.
These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy
More than one type of metallic elements.
Oxygen and neon are both elements. Oxygen has 8 electrons and 8 protons. Neon has 10 electrons and 10 protons. Oxygen is also a non-metal element and Neon is a noble gas.
