The time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is the element's?
i got no idea
The time it takes for half of the radioactive element to decay is the element's what?
The time it takes for half the atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is called the half life.
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
What is the process by which an element slowly decays over time?
It is through radioactive decay that a quantity of an unstable element will decay over time. A material that is unstable will undergo this process, and the sample is said to be radioactive.
What does the half life of a radioisotope represent?
It tells what fraction of a radioactive sample remains after a certain length of time.
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 long will it take a g sample of bismuth to decay such that 2.0 g of the element remains?
You forgot to say that isotope is.
How long will it take half of a radioactive sample to decay?
The length of time depends on the element and isotope, but the point at which half of the sample has decayed is known as the half-life.
What is the amount of time that is required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay?
It's called the half-life.
As a sample of a radioactive element decays its half-life?
No, the half life remains exactly the same throughout
What is the amount of time it takes for half of a radioactive sample to decay?
its called the half-life and it is different for each nuclide.
Radioactive decay can be affected by?
The rate of decay of a radioactive element cannot be influenced by any physical or chemical change. It is a rather constant phenomenon that appears to be independent of all others. The rate of decay is given by an element's half life, which is the amount of time for approximately half of the atoms to decay.
