What does carbon
Radiocarbon dating (also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon.
What is carbon
Carbon-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 carbon
Which 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?
