Do isotopes determine the size or age of a rock?
age... parent and daughter isotopes in relation to half life
When does Parent and daughter isotopes occur?
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.
Which measurement would help determine absolute dates by radiometric means?
the accumulation of the daughter isotope and the loss of parent isotopes
Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
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.

In order for radiometric dating to be accurate what must be true about the daughter material at the time a rock formed?
There must be more daughter isotopes than parent isotopes for a rock to be younger

Can alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same elements?
False.

What is the ratio of parent to daughter isotopes after eight half lives?
100(.50)^.5 = 70.71%..50 represents the 50% remainder per half-life, taken to the power of .5 or the number of half-lives that pass, all multiplied by 100 to make the answer a percentage.
How are daughter and parent cells alike?
Daughter and parent cells are alike because the daughter cell comes from the parent cell.
How do you calculate parent and daughter isotopes to find the fraction of atoms remaining in a fossil?
mera tujse phele ka natha koi yuhi nahi dil lubata koi....
What is the similarity of radioactive isotope and radioactive dating?
Radioactive isotopes are used for radioactive dating. For example, you would use radioactive isotope Carbon-14 to date anything under 70,000 years that was once living. Radioactive isotopes decay from their parent isotope to daughter isotope at a constant rate (under any circumstances). The rate at which a parent isotope decays to its daughter isotope is considered one half life. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years and its daughter isotope is Nitrogen-14. In order to determine how old something is you have to find out how much of the parent isotope is present in relation to the daughter.
How do the daughter cells compare to parent cells?
Daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
