When fast neutron and nitrogen nuclie collid then an intermediate form. Is this intermediate called radiocarbon?

Bala said:   1 decade ago
What happens when radiocarbon form?
Whether it is advantageous or not.

Nisarg said:   1 decade ago
How radiocarbon dating is used for define the age ?

Sumit bhati said:   1 decade ago
What is radiocarbon ? What is uses it ?

Mafel said:   1 decade ago
I think A is the correct answer because when the different elements put together, it will produce a radiocarbon.

Mack patel said:   1 decade ago
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:   1 decade ago
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.

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.

Radiocarbon is present in the atmosphere due to pollution and bombardment of collision between fast neutron.

Siva balaji said:   1 decade ago
In every atom there is a small amount of carbon. From that we will calculate the radiocarbon dating.
