Studying the decay of radioactive isotopes in dead organisms helps scientists to identify fossilized remains. The ratio of C-12 to C-14 in the atmosphere is 1 x 1012. The table shows this ratio inside the body of three organisms.

C12/C14 Ratio
Organism C12/C14 Ratio
E 8 x 1012
F 1 x 1012
G 4 x 1012

What can most likely be concluded from the above information?
Only Organism F is alive, and Organism G died before Organism E.
Only Organism F is alive, and Organism E died before Organism G.
Only Organism E is alive, and Organism G died before Organism F.
Only Organism E is alive, and Organism F died before Organism G.

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!

rosa was looking for patterns to predict the products of chemical reactions. she recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table.she should record 2licl + 3o2.

in the last row of the table. it is the thermal decomposition of chlorate lithium, hence, she should record these products as: lithium chloride ( 2licl ) and oxygen ( 3o2 )   2 > 2 licl + 3o2.
