Wow, I have no idea what you said but I am happy that you provided an example because no one was doing that and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how someone would be able to determine how much C14 there was originally- when the person, animal, or plant died. You at least explained it even though after one viewing I have no idea what you said. I will go back over and try to break it down slowly, so maybe I will get it later. Thanks a bunch….I will subscribe.

I have always wondered why the carbon 14 would decay at a different rate in the stuff that was being measured ... thank you so much for this wonderful explanation. How do we know that the carbon 14 concentration was the same 60k years ago as it is now? Could the amount of cosmic rays change?

Great job

I like the step by step process you presented. Clear and to the point. Keep it up. One question I have is can I speed up the number of C 14 lost by increasing or decreasing pressure, temperature? Water content? Exposure to UV rays? Microwaves?

@fatimamohammed586

It is completely impossible to change the half-life of an isotope. Unlike chemical reactions whose speed (The rate at which they occur) is affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, concentration, or catalysts, half-lives (speeds of nuclear reactions) aren't affected by such factors and are always fixed or constant.

@@fatimamohammed586 I see your point and thank you for your explanation. I guess I didn't write it better. What I mean is at a fixed rate, say for example you put out one box on the assembly line a second. You use a certain amount of resources to make the boxes until you run out and then you are done with your shift. When I said increase or decrease the half life, I probably meant, can you speed up the breakdown process and ultimately turn the material to dust via its molecular structure breaking apart? In relation to the box example, you are not making bigger or smaller boxes, rather something or someone helps you make 20 boxes a sec, but the material per box is exactly the same, meaning the half life is the same, but you finish your shift sooner, meaning the material breaks down faster than if it was in the dark, away from sunlight, high heat, erosion, oxidation, acids and bases, etc. I meant to say there are other factors that break the material faster and that exposes the inner material to the elements sooner, thus they add more "workers" to start breaking down the inner material, thus the material looks older, or younger, depending on the circumstances and what we are used of seeing when seeing something old or young. Even if the half life stays the same, the material does not meet our expectations of what we think of as old or young looking. That is what I meant to address, but it seems we are on the same page.

The charge on a neutron is zero.

How are you getting the measurements from the carbon samples? Also how are you able to tell how many neutrons each atom has?

@stepbystepscience

3 жыл бұрын

The number of neutrons is determined by smashing atoms together in a particle accelerator. I am not sure what you mean by measurements from the carbon samples, but this can be done with a mass spectrometer.

Yes, it absorbs a neutron but then emits a proton so the pass number stays the same (14) and the atomic number goes down by one, from 7 to 6. Does that clear it up for you?
