Excellent explanation! The whole integrated picture of Carbon in the entire life cycle, in the forms of it's isotopes, collisions with Nitrogen, further formation of Carbon monoxide and oxidisation of it to form carbon dioxide. It's half life (radioactive) and it's role in carbon dating and it's relation to the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide due to burning of fossil fuels with only a less than 1% C-14 in the atmosphere which is mostly constant. THIS IS SIMPLY MAGICAL! Chemistry has never been this palatable and digestible! Thanks a ton! PS - I almost flunked Chemistry in 7th grade - the exact same topic of Carbon and it's isotopes! Phew! Life has truly come full circle. Cheers! Here's to celebrating knowledge !
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help make chemistry a bit more interesting. Cheers to celebrating knowledge! The carbon cycle is truly an amazing process, and it's fascinating to see how this one element can play so many vital roles.
It is important to mention that it is the ratio of C14 to C12 that is used to establish the starting point, otherwise you will have comments like "nobody knows how much C14 was there originally". Also, the method has been calibrated over 60 years of research using all kinds of references, growth rings, historical artefacts of known age etc. to allow for the known variations in atmospheric C14. Finally, it is the decay constant of C14 that is used in the calculation, the "half-life" is just a convenient method of referring to it. It is not necessary to wait 5,700 years to measure it, as some people seem to think!.
bro. they need a alive object to read the original c12. you need to first find a living object, and measure its c12. then you find a dead and measure the c14 to see the difference in its c12. the c12 needs to first be calibrated with a living reference. second growth rings are affected by weather... historical artifacts can be inherited.... it is neccassary to wait 1000+ plus years to use c14. know - it - all

Yes... I too had limited knowledge about that. I just wanted to discuss the concept without getting too deep... Thank you for the info...

@@MasterTemp Go read up on how it works instead of trying to BS us with your misinformation!
thanku sir
Great

It took me way too long to realise the video thumbnail wasn't some kind of joke :D
