Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow., Are there nuclear reactions going on in our bodies?, There are nuclear reactions constantly occurring in our bodies, but there are very few of them, compared to the chemical reactions, and they do not affect our bodies much. All of the physical, processes that take place to keep a human body running are chemical processes. Nuclear, reactions can lead to chemical damage, which the body may notice and try to fix., The nuclear reaction occurring in our bodies is radioactive decay. This is the change of a less, stable nucleus to a more stable nucleus. Every atom has either a stable nucleus or an unstable, nucleus, depending on how big it is and on the ratio of protons to neutrons. The ratio of neutrons, to protons in a stable nucleus is thus around 1:1 for small nuclei (Z < 20). Nuclei with too many, neutrons, too few neutrons, or that are simply too big are unstable. They eventually transform to, a stable form through radioactive decay. Wherever there are atoms with unstable nuclei, (radioactive atoms), there are nuclear reactions occurring naturally. The interesting thing is that, there are small amounts of radioactive atoms everywhere: in your chair, in the ground, in the, food you eat, and yes, in your body., The most common natural radioactive isotopes in humans are carbon-14 and potassium-40., Chemically, these isotopes behave exactly like stable carbon and potassium. For this reason, the, body uses carbon-14 and potassium-40 just like it does normal carbon and potassium; building, them into the different parts of the cells, without knowing that they are radioactive. In time,

carbon-14 atoms decay to stable nitrogen atoms and potassium-40 atoms decay to stable calcium, atoms. Chemicals in the body that relied on having a carbon-14 atom or potassium-40 atom in a, certain spot will suddenly have a nitrogen or calcium atom. Such a change damages the, chemical. Normally, such changes are so rare, that the body can repair the damage or filter away, the damaged chemicals., The natural occurrence of carbon-14 decay in the body is the core principle behind carbon, dating. As long as a person is alive and still eating, every carbon-14 atom that decays into a, nitrogen atom is replaced on average with a new carbon-14 atom. But once a person dies, he, stops replacing the decaying carbon-14 atoms. Slowly the carbon-14 atoms decay to nitrogen, without being replaced, so that there is less and less carbon-14 in a dead body. The rate at which, carbon-14 decays is constant and follows first order kinetics. It has a half - life of nearly 6000, years, so by measuring the relative amount of carbon-14 in a bone, archeologists can calculate, when the person died. All living organisms consume carbon, so carbon dating can be used to date, any living organism, and any object made from a living organism. Bones, wood, leather, and, even paper can be accurately dated, as long as they first existed within the last 60,000 years. This, is all because of the fact that nuclear reactions naturally occur in living organisms., (source: The textbook Chemistry: The Practical Science by Paul B. Kelter, Michael D. Mosher, and Andrew Scott states), a. Why is Carbon -14 radioactive while Carbon -12 not? (Atomic number of Carbon: 6), b.
