Will a sample of radon-222 eventually all disappear?

Maybe, and maybe not. It depends on how large the sample is and how long "eventually" is. Though radon has a modest half-life, it still takes a long, long time for any appreciable amount to decay to the point where we can't detect it. Remember that any "sample" will contain radon atoms numbered in many powers of ten. Then there's the fact that a half-life is a statistically derived amount of time, meaning that a single given atom or a small number of atoms won't "obey" the "rule" of the half-life and decay "on schedule" per the time cited. All the atoms of radon-222 may not disappear "eventually" as was asked. But for all practical purposes, a sample might be said to disappear over geologic time. Radon-222, an isotope of the radioactive inert gas, has a half-life of 3.8235 days. That means that in 3.8235 days, half of the 222Rn sample will be gone. In another 3.8235 days, half of that remaining 222Rn will be gone. And so on. Note that the radon-222 is undergoing radioactive decay to "disappear" as was asked. Additionally, each radon-222 atom that decays will have to undergo another 7 decay events to become a stable isotope of lead. And all of this is radioactive decay.


How long does it take for 60 of a gas radon to decay when it has a half life of 3.82 days?

Half-life time of a radioactive element is the time required for the decomposition of half of the actual mass of the element."Half life of radon is 3.8 days."This means that a particular mass of radon is reduced to half its mass in 3.8 days. The half-life period of an element does not depend upon the original mass of the element. This means that 10gms of radon will become 5gms of radon is 3.8 days, and 80gms of radon will become 40gms in 3.8 days.
