The half life of plutonium-239 is 2,41.10e+4 years.
Plutonium remains radioactive for a long time as the half life is 87.7 years for Pu-239. The half life is how long it takes for half of the radioactivity to dissipate.
The half life of the isotope Pu-239 is 2,41.10e+4 years.
Plutonium-235 is an artificial isotope with a half life of 25,3(5) minutes. It is obtained only in some nuclear reactions.
Plutonium has no uses in the everyday life.
Plutonium is an artificial chemical element (but also exist in the earth crust in extremely low concentrations), metal, solid, radioactive, unstable, reactive, etc. The half life of the most important isotope (239Pu) is 2,41.104 years.
The half life of plutonium-235 is 25,3(5) minutes.
Plutonium remains radioactive for a long time as the half life is 87.7 years for Pu-239. The half life is how long it takes for half of the radioactivity to dissipate.
Plutonium has 20 isotopes; each isotope has another half-life. Please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_plutonium.
The half life of the most important isotope (239Pu) is 2,41.104 years.
Not plutonium, but iodine-131 !!The half life of 131I is 8,0197 days.
Plutonium 241 has a half life of 14 years. Storing the nuclear waste of plutonium can be very hazardous and needs to be stored for hundreds of thousands of years before it is totally safe.
Plutonium-238 has 144 neutrons, plutonium-240 has 146 neutrons. Atomic mass and half life are also different.
A half-life is simply the amount of time it takes for a substance to reduce itself by half. In this case, every 14.2 days half of plutonium-32 is converted into something else. All you have to do is divide 99.4 by 14.2, which is exactly 7. About 0.78% of the plutonium will be remaining at this time.
No, it does not. The longest lived isotope, plutonium-244, has a half life of 80,800,000 years.
The half life is different for each isotope of plutonium; name the isotope for a calculation.
The half life of the isotope Pu-239 is 2,41.10e+4 years.
Being a radioactive chemical element plutonium is not stable.The half life of the isotope Pu-239 is 2,41.10e+4 years.
