Ion of sodium isotope of uranium proton of hydrogen or proton of oxygen is most likely to be radioactive?

Hydrogen has only one natural radioactive isotope(3H), of cosmogenic origin, but only in ultratraces on the earth. Sodium has two radioactive natural isotopes (22Na and 24Na), of cosmogenic origin, but only in ultratraces on the earth. Oxygen has not natural radioactive isotopes. All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.

What is half life of a isotope?

The half life of an isotope refers to the rate at which a radioactive isotope undergoes radioactive decay. Specifically, it is the amount of time it takes for half of a given sample of a radioactive isotope to decay.


What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?

That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)


What is the half life of an isotope?

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the radioactive isotope to decay. The half-life of a specific radioactive isotope is constant; it is unaffected by conditions and is independent of the initial amount of that isotope.
