Question
Chapter 25, Problem 100A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The question is to find what happens to the structure of carbon-14 atoms as this isotope decays.
Concept Introduction: Carbon-14, also known as radiocarbon, is a weakly radioactive isotope of carbon and an isotopic chronometer.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 100A
As the carbon-14 isotope decays, it transforms into the nitrogen-14 isotope.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given isotope is carbon-14.
A neutron becomes a proton and loses an electron to form nitrogen-14 when carbon-14 decays.
The atom is more stable because of its new nucleus structure, which has seven protons and seven neutrons, but it is no longer an atom of carbon.
Conclusion
Hence, as the carbon-14 isotope decays, it transforms into the nitrogen-14 isotope.
