What does a higher percentage of daughter isotopes in rock mean?
A higher percentage of daughter isotopes present in a sample, the older the rock is.
Do isotopes determine the size or age of a rock?
age... parent and daughter isotopes in relation to half life
What element is formed when neptunium desintegrates?
Neptunium-237 decay to protactinium-233.Other isotopes of Np decay to other daughter isotopes.
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.
What does the creation of daughter isotopes release?
Energy and radiations as alpha, beta, gamma, etc.

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

Is it true that the daughter products of nuclear explosions produce heavy but stable isotopes of uranium?
True
Can alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same elements?
False.
Scandium undergoes beta decay What is the resulting daughter isotope?
Naturally occurring scandium 45Sc is stable. However synthetic isotopes of scandium can have 36 to 60 nucleons. Isotopes with masses above the stable isotope decay through beta emission into isotopes of titanium. Isotopes below the stable variety decay, mainly by electron capture, into isotopes of calcium.
What is the time needed for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotopes called?
halflife
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.
Which measurement would help determine absolute dates by radiometric means?
the accumulation of the daughter isotope and the loss of parent isotopes
