An archeologist runs a carbon dating test on bones found in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. She discovers that the carbon-14 isotopes in the bones have undergone three half-lives. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. Approximately how old are the bones? 1,910 years old

3,000 years old

5,730 years old

17,190 years old

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )

the answer is c.the valence of the atoms combine .
