A sample contains 1200 radioactive atoms of a particular nuclide After an interval of two half-lives how many atoms have disintegrated?
Petrok
After two half life it must be 1200 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 300 atoms.

Why lightning conductor contains radioactive compound?
It doesn't.
What is the name of the series which contains most of the synthetic and radioactive elements?
All of the actinides are radioactive, and almost all are synthetic.
What is radioactive fossil?
A radioactive rock is one which contains traces of radioactive isotopes. These isotopes release radiation in its various forms. Any rock can be radioactive, but in particular igneous rocks tend to have radioactive properties. This is because they may have radon gas trapped in their crystals, which, under pressure, is released (this is why radon gas is used as an indicator of an upcoming earthquake). Radon gas is radioactive, and this causes the rock to be radioactive also.
