Question
What are the three conditions for using an isotope in a rock to date that rock? (Select all that apply.) O The age of the rock does not differ too much from the half-life of the daughter radionuclide. OThe parent or daughter isotopes have been added or subtracted over time to the rock. ONo addition or subtraction of the parent or daughter has occurred over the lifetime of the rock other than that caused by radioactive decay The age of the rock does not differ too much from the half-life of the parent radionuclide. The daughter element was present in the rock when it was formed. None of the daughter element was present in the rock when it was formed, or if it was, it is possible to tell how much. Need Help?
