39 The Atomic Nucleus and Radioactivity
... • When two nucleons are just a few nucleon diameters apart, the nuclear force they exert on each other is nearly zero (small force vectors). • This means that if nucleons are to be held together by the strong force, they must be held in a very small volume. • Nuclei are tiny because the nuclear forc ...

... •In 1949, Willard Libby developed a method of using the radioactive isotope 14 C to determine the age of organic materials up to about 50,000 years old. Libby won a Nobel Prize for his work. •The concentration of 14 C in the is about 1 part per trillion (1 atom of 14 C for 8.3 x 1011 atoms of 12 C. ...
