Example text

And they were absolutely right to say ‘nothing’ because there is ‘nothing’ at all in between the particles. ) We explained that ‘all matter’ includes ‘air and glue’ and 1;hat these must also be made up of particles. We asked again what was between their particles, and they soon got the point and now said NOTHING. Right again. So what properties of materials does the existence of particles explain? STATE AND CHANGE OF STATE What are the properties that distinguish between solids, liquids and gases?

Suppose you dig up a piece of wood, extract the carbon and measure the amount of radioactivity. e. about 5770 years. In fact, the way the activity will decrease is as follows: in 5770 years in 11 540 years in 17 3 10 years in 23 080 years half as active a quarter as active an eighth as active a sixteenth as active and so on. Of course, it isn’t quite as simple as this, but the general idea is true. For every half-life that goes past, the amount of the isotope, and hence its activity, is halved.

E. about 5770 years. In fact, the way the activity will decrease is as follows: in 5770 years in 11 540 years in 17 3 10 years in 23 080 years half as active a quarter as active an eighth as active a sixteenth as active and so on. Of course, it isn’t quite as simple as this, but the general idea is true. For every half-life that goes past, the amount of the isotope, and hence its activity, is halved. This means that you can get an idea of the age of artifacts made of organic material, and of human remains, since they all contain carbon.
