There are three naturally occurring isotopes of carbon: 12C, 13C, and 14C. Carbon-14 is radioactive and can be used to date the charcoal. The archeologist collected a sample for testing and learned that the carbon-14 activity was found to be 10 counts per minute. A sample of new charcoal of similar size showed a carbon-14 activity of 640 counts per minute. How many carbon-14 half-lives have occurred? Estimate the age of the charcoal.

Dalton believed that atoms were solid, indivisible spheres, an idea we now reje But he showed remarkable insight into the nature of matter and its interactions. Sone of his ideas could not be verified (or refuted) experimentally at the timne. They were based on the limited experimental observations of his day. Even with their shortcomings Dalton's ideas provided a framework that could be modified and expanded by late scientists. Thus, John Dalton is often considered to be the father of modern atomie theary. In Dalton's work, he thought that atoms are indestruetible. However, it was later found that atoms still contain smaller particles and that these subatomic particles further contain particles within them.
