From where we get fast neutron?

Vivek said: (Tue, Oct 12, 2010 02:18:08 AM)    
 
Fast moving neutron have a sufficient energy to penetrate the nitrogen nucleus and absorbedby it. Hence it make a intermdiate unstable element finallyit gives carbon-14 and a electron.

Sabari said: (Fri, Jan 7, 2011 01:57:53 AM)    
 
Suppose the nitrogen nucleus and fast neutrons are collision, what will happen?

Vinay Kumar Gupta said: (Tue, Feb 15, 2011 06:45:05 AM)    
 
Neutron absorbed is good and the energy is sufficient for that it is unstable elment.

Priya Mahajan said: (Sat, Feb 26, 2011 02:42:46 AM)    
 
Fast moving neutrons are produce due to fission of fissile materias.

Mansi said: (Wed, Mar 9, 2011 10:11:46 AM)    
 
What are the properties of radiocarbon ?

Aman said: (Sat, Jul 2, 2011 12:25:14 AM)    
 
Is harmful for human bodies, if yes or no then why?

Rajesh Malwa said: (Mon, Jul 11, 2011 12:25:40 PM)    
 
What is radiocarbon?

Durgsh said: (Wed, Aug 3, 2011 09:54:32 PM)    
 
Collision between fast neutrons and nitrogen nuclei present in the atmosphere. Why is this ?

Sabarivasu said: (Wed, Sep 7, 2011 08:39:30 PM)    
 
What is the disadvantage of the radiocarbon?

Ashish Chaudhary said: (Fri, Oct 7, 2011 02:46:22 PM)    
 
Fast moving neutrons are obtained from cosmic radiation emitted by the sun and these radiation strikes nitroge present in the atmosphere which results into the formaton of radiocarbon

Rabiya said: (Mon, Oct 17, 2011 04:50:43 PM)    
 
What is the role of radiocarbon in the atmosphere. ?

Anjali said: (Thu, Oct 27, 2011 09:06:34 PM)    
 
What is radiocarbon ?

Harun said: (Sun, Nov 6, 2011 06:34:27 PM)    
 
I want to know about radiocarbon.

Vardaan said: (Mon, Dec 12, 2011 06:08:28 PM)    
 
What is the role of chemistry in PCM ?

Rony said: (Wed, Jan 25, 2012 05:45:15 PM)    
 
Tell me about radiocarban if you know well.

Sajeev said: (Sat, Mar 10, 2012 03:14:18 PM)    
 
What is radio carbon?

Rahul Dhawan said: (Mon, Apr 2, 2012 12:22:41 PM)    
 
Because energy is released in the form of radiation.

Jayaraman said: (Tue, Apr 17, 2012 11:26:17 AM)    
 
Radiocarbon means radioactive isotope carbon i.e., 6c14
Atomic number - 6
Mass number - 14
It is an unstable element
Stable carbon is 6c12

Radiocarbon dating is used to define the age.

Riya Sinha said: (Fri, May 11, 2012 08:23:46 PM)    
 
When fast neutron and nitrogen nuclie collid then an intermediate form. Is this intermediate called radiocarbon?

Bala said: (Wed, May 16, 2012 08:54:40 PM)    
 
What happens when radiocarbon form?
Whether it is advantageous or not.

Nisarg said: (Fri, Jul 6, 2012 01:08:30 PM)    
 
How radiocarbon dating is used for define the age ?

Sumit Bhati said: (Sun, Jul 22, 2012 09:44:32 PM)    
 
What is radiocarbon ? What is uses it ?

Mafel said: (Wed, Sep 5, 2012 04:24:44 PM)    
 
I think A is the correct answer because when the different elements put together, it will produce a radiocarbon.

Mack Patel said: (Sat, Sep 22, 2012 11:51:01 AM)    
 
I agree with a but please tell me what is properties of radio carbon ? Why it is processed with only nitrogen instead of any gases ?

Prakash Sharma Nahan said: (Tue, Oct 23, 2012 09:44:53 PM)    
 
The neutrons these are produced in atmosphere from the sun radiation i.e.cosmic rays. So that the obtained neutron is then reacts with the nitrogen which is present in the atmosphere and produce radioactive element.

Vanessa Adomah Nassarah said: (Sun, Dec 9, 2012 04:31:45 PM)    
 
Radiocarbon dating usually referred to as simply carbon is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 14c. It is a method used by archaeologist to date organic materials by comparing the amount of carbon 14 c14 available in living creature.

Ammu said: (Wed, Feb 20, 2013 03:27:20 PM)    
 
Radiocarbon is present in the atmosphere due to pollution and bombardment of collision between fast neutron.

Siva Balaji said: (Mon, Mar 4, 2013 10:13:39 AM)    
 
In every atom there is a small amount of carbon. From that we will calculate the radiocarbon dating.

Gayatri Ashok said: (Thu, Apr 4, 2013 10:54:57 PM)    
 
Neutrons undergo collision and forms unstable elements but one thing is that does it break to form any other element.

Alisha said: (Mon, Apr 22, 2013 06:35:35 PM)    
 
I agree with this but what is the properties of radio carbon?

Saurabh Sharma said: (Sat, Apr 27, 2013 01:55:52 PM)    
 
Nitrogen is heavy percentage in atmosphere due to this when heavy neutron collision with nitrogen nuclei then it produce.
