17 protons 17 electrons 18 neutrons
Answer:
element
Explanation:
we know that helium is a pure substance although helium atoms are sometimes mixed with their isotopes it is still the same element. since there is no other element combined with helium this makes it an element.
The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass).
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
n = log 0.445/log 0.5
n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years
The answer is fusion. hope this helps!
