What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
Radiometric dating is possible because the rates of decay of radioactive isotopes .?
Are constant
How the process of radioactive decay can provide more accurate measurements of age compared to relative age dating?
Because radioactive decay happens at a constant rate. Once you figure out the rate of decay, called the half life, you can date stuff.
The radioactive decay constant is blank days -1 if the radioisotope has a half-life of 52 days?
0.013
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
Can radioactive decay be kept constant by electric field?
Radioactive decay can't be controlled by an electric field - or by almost anything, for that matter.

Which phrase describes one characteristic of radioactive elements?
decay at a constant rate
Radiometric dating is possible because the rates of decay of radioactive isotopes .?
Are constant
Radiometric dating is possible because the rates of decay of radioactive isotopes?
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.
Is it true that the half-life of a radioactive isotope decreases as the isotopes decay?
no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
