How can radioisotopes determine the age of objects?

answ2. Radioisotopes decay at a rate specific to the particular element (and its isotope). Carbon for example has two stable isotopes (C12 and C13), and another half-dozen or so of short-lived ones. C14 is a natural isotope with a half-life of around 5700 years, and is very useful for dating archaeological remains.Tin for example has ten stable isotopes, and up towards 20 radioactive ones.Many other isotopes are used for dating different items, and some even have half-lives in excess of the age of the Earth. For many purposes these may considered as stable.Reverting to the carbon, after 5700 years, there is one-half of the C14 left that there was previously. After 11 400 years there would be a quarter of the original quantity and so on.
