Carbon-14, the longest-lived radioactive isotope of carbon, whose decay allows the accurate dating of archaeological artifacts from 500 to 50,000 years old. Carbon-14 has a half-life of …

Radioactive Decay Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay with emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino: 14 C → 14 N + e - + ve + 156.476 keV. The decay product is the stable nuclide …

History of Radiocarbon-14 Dating The method developed in the 1940's and was a ground-breaking piece of research that would change dating methods forever. A team of researchers …

General: Carbon-14 is a low energy beta emitter and even large amounts of this isotope pose little external dose hazard to persons exposed. The beta radiation barely penetrates the outer …

Apr 14, 2025 · Carbon-14, 14C, or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon with a nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Its presence in organic materials is the basis of the …

Oct 31, 2024 · Radioactive decay of Carbon-14 enables scientists to determine ages of ancient artefacts, fossils, and environmental samples accurately.

Carbon-14 is a commonly used radionuclide with a half-life of 5,730 years, emitting only beta particles with a maximum energy of 0.156 MeV (Million Electron Volts) and an average energy …

Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring isotope. Radioactive carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years and undergoes β− decay. Carbon-14 is continuously formed in the upper atmosphere.

Radiocarbon dating is a method that provides objective age estimates for carbon-based materials that originated from living organisms.
