An archaeologist graduate student found a leg bone of a large animal during the building of a new science building. The bone had a carbon-14 decay rate of 14.8 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Living organisms have a decay rate of 15.3 disintegrations per minute. How old is the bone?

Pauling and lewis questioned the extreme definitions of bonds. they wondered if bonds might be described somewhere in between the two extremes (covalent and ionic). on the basis of experimental data,pauling confirmed that bonds could be ionic, covalent, and for those, in between, exhibit a degree of ionic character. he theorized that the major factor was how strongly the atoms in the bond attracted the electrons. pauling called this factor - the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a bond.
