Relative abundance (in percentage) of `"'^14 C` isotope is

A

1.1

B

`2xx10^(-10)`

C

`2xx10^(-4)`

D

`2xx10^(-5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Carbon has mainly three isotopes. C-12, C-13 and C-14. C-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon and present in least quantity, i.e. near about
`(2xx10^(-10)).`
`{:(""^2C,""^13C,""^14C),(98.9%,1.08%,2xx10^(-10)):}`
