No, radioactive dating does not produce exact results. No form of radioactive dating produces exact results. But results can be gotten that are surprisingly accurate. As a "for instance" we might look at uranium-lead dating. This dating method can deliver results accurate to a million or two years in a billion years. That's about 0.1 to 0.2 % or so.

Why doesn't radiometric dating produce exact results?
No because it impossible to show the exact result
What is one radioactive isotope the geologists can use to learn the exact age of the rock?
Absolute dating is a radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn the exact age of the rock.
What is one radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn exact age of the rock?
Absolute dating is a radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn the exact age of the rock.
How do scientist use Radioactive Isotopes to find the absolute age of a rock?
Absolute dating is a radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn the exact age of the rock.
Is it possible that radiomatic dating produces exact results?
Unlikely - too many variables.
What evidence supports the hypothesis that Earth is 4.6 billion years?
Among other things, rocks have been found that are over 4 billion years old. The age of such rocks is determined by radioactive dating. Note that this is not "a" method, but perhaps 40 different methods (depending on the isotopes involved), which complement one another.The exact age of the Earth is harder to determine exactly; but basically, it must be at least as old as the oldest rocks found.
Is a proton a radioactive emission?
PROTON has a positive charge. In certain elements there is proton emission possible. Refer to radioactive elements in detail to get exact answer to your question.
Why would estimating fractions not be a good thing to do in baking cookies?
Baking, as opposed to cooking, is a more precise science. The proportion of each ingredient to another needs to be exact for produce the desired results.
What discovery led to the exact absolute dating in geology?
The discovery of radioactivity
What are the results of cloning?
to receive the exact copy of a DNA sequence.

What are some other ways to date items other than radioactive dating?
carbon dating is another way to date items. In carbon dating, the approximate time taken by the item to degrade to half is calculated according to the degrading time of carbon which is nearly constant. In this way half of this half portion is calculated and the process goes on till we dont find the exact age of the item. This method is used for finding the age of fossils(dinosaurs for example)
