"Daughter isotopes" are called the decay products of an radioactive isotope.
A higher percentage of daughter isotopes present in a sample, the older the rock is.
age... parent and daughter isotopes in relation to half life
Neptunium-237 decay to protactinium-233.Other isotopes of Np decay to other daughter isotopes.
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.

There must be more daughter isotopes than parent isotopes for a rock to be younger

Energy and radiations as alpha, beta, gamma, etc.
True
False.
Naturally occurring scandium 45Sc is stable. However synthetic isotopes of scandium can have 36 to 60 nucleons. Isotopes with masses above the stable isotope decay through beta emission into isotopes of titanium. Isotopes below the stable variety decay, mainly by electron capture, into isotopes of calcium.
halflife
Radiometric dating is possible because the rates of decay of radioactive isotopes are constant and predictable over time. By measuring the amount of remaining parent and daughter isotopes in a sample, scientists can determine the age of the sample.
