1. Identify the reactants and products in the above reaction.
2. For each element, what do the top (superscripted) and the bottom (subscripted)
numbers represent respectively?
3. How many protons and neutrons are found in the uranium isotope used above?
4. How many protons and neutrons are found in the thorium isotope used above?
5. What is the difference in,
a. the number of protons between U and Th?
b. the number of neutrons between U and Th?
c. the mass number between U and Th?
6. How do you explain these differences with respect to the nuclear reaction above?
(7) Carbon-14 dating is used in archeology to determine the age
of items that were alive or were made from living materials.
This works because the proportion of radioactive Carbon-14 to
the other isotopes of Carbon is relatively constant in the atmo-
sphere. (Volcanos constantly refresh the C-14 content.)
A wooden tool from an archeological site is found to contain
22 micrograms of C-14, whereas a similar hnount of modern
wood would contain 100 micrograms. How old is the tool?
