What term used to describe rate of radioactive isotopes?
Half-life (in units of time).Half-Life is the rate of radioactive decay, measured in time. The half life gives the time it take for half of the radioactive atoms in a system to decay. Fore example, if you have 10 grams of carbon-14, it will take 5730 years for half of it to decay, giving you 5 grams. In another 5730 years, you'll have 2.5 grams left, etc...Isotopes decay at an exponential rate. A half-life is the time that half of the population of an isotope will decay. The measure is a statistical probability and is more accurate when a large population is observed. The term half-life is applied to describe a property of a given isotope (i.e. the half-life of Carbon 14 is 5730).half life
In chemistry what is a half life?
A half-life is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive substance to decay. It is a constant characteristic of each radioactive isotope and is used to determine the rate of decay of a substance.
Is the half-life of a chemical element one-half of the amount of a radioactive element to decay?
The half-life is the time that it takes for 1/2 of a material to decay.
How do you find the half-life of an object?
To find the half-life of an object, you measure the time it takes for half of the original quantity of a substance to decay. This decay process is typically exponential, and the half-life is a characteristic property of the material being studied. Scientists can determine the half-life experimentally by observing the decay of a sample over time.
