What is carbonCarbon-14 is a weakly radioactive isotope of Carbon; also known as radiocarbon, it is an isotopic chronometer.
What is the definition for carbon dating?Definition of carbon dating
: the determination of the age of old material (such as an archaeological or paleontological specimen) by means of the content of carbon 14.
Which statement explains why carbonWhich statement explains why carbon-14 dating cannot be used to date ancient rocks? Carbon-14 decays relatively quickly. Which statement describes what happens to elements during radioactive decay?
