\nSolution:<\/span> <\/strong>From the symbol, we have Atomic number Z = number of protons =6<\/p>\n
\nBut number of protons are 6, so number of neutrons will be 7.
\nSo the element is an isotope of carbon-6, and is written as
\n13<\/sup>X6<\/sub><\/p>\n
\nC-14 is 5730 years what is the approximate age of the fossil?<\/strong>
\nSolution:<\/span> <\/strong>Since the ratio has been reduced by factor of 4 therefore, two half-lives have passed.
\nTherefore age of the fossil is given by: 2 x 5730 = 11460 years<\/p>\n
