I am not getting reason of the give question explain please any body clearly.

Explanation is clear i.e. Fast moving neutron have a sufficient energy to penetrate the nitrogen nucleus and absorbed by it. Hence it make a intermediate unstable element finally it gives carbon-14 and a electron.

Please give reason why fast neutrons penetrate neutrons in atmosphere?

What is radio carbon?

1st there is given that the radiocarbon is produced due to collision between the fast neutron and nuclei of nitrogen let prove it fast neutron is produced due to collision of UV ray from sun and any particle in atm, and the nuclei of nitrogen is also form from a any particle, radiocarbon is not dangerous it is also observe by the plants.

What is radiocarbon dating? Describe it. Is there only one source of fast moving neutrons i.e. sun? Can we define all living creature's age by radioactive dating? Or only human's age.

How we get fast neutron?

Can we use other atom except nitrogen?

Carbon-14 is a problem in nuclear plants because it is radioactive. It is produced as a result of nitrogen atom's nucleus being hit by a fast neutron. The fast neutrons are result of collision between a slow neutron and uranium atoms in the nuclear reactor.
