If a radioactive element half life is 500000 years given 20 grams of the element how much is left after 4 half lives?
Just divide the original amount by 2, 4 times: 10; 5; 2.5; 1.25. The final number is the answer.
A particular element has a half life of 27 daysafter 54 days how much of the radioactive material is left?
The half life is the time it takes for half the atoms in a given sample to decompose. Knowing this then after 27 days there is half the amount left. After 54 days then there is half that half left so that's a quarter.
How much of the radioactive element will be left one billion years from now?
That depends on the "half-life" of that particular radioactive element, which the question forgot to state. They're all different. Various radioactive elements have half-lives ranging from microseconds to millions of years.
What is the half life of man made elements?
Half-life refers to nuclear isotopes. Each isotope, whether naturally ocurring or man-made, has a different half-life. You must say which element that is emitting radiationyou are asking about.
How much parent material will be left after five half-lives?
Only 1/32 of the original radioactive material will remain. (½)5 = 1/32
How much cesium is left after 4 half-lives?
1/16 of the original sample of any unstable element remains after 4 half lives.
How much darmstadtium is left in the world?
Darmstadtium is an artificial chemical element, obtained only in quantities of some atoms with very short half lives.
If a radioactive element half life is 500000 years given 20 grams of the element how much is left after 4 half lives?
Just divide the original amount by 2, 4 times: 10; 5; 2.5; 1.25. The final number is the answer.

How much of an 8 gram sample is left after 3 half lives?
2.66666666666667 grams
How much c14 would be left after 10 half lives?
After 10 half lives, only ( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{10} = \frac{1}{1024} ) or approximately 0.098% of the original amount of C14 would be left.
If a sample that originally contain 10 grams of C14 has gone through two half-lives of Decay how much C14 will be left?
2.5
How much of the radioactive element will be left one billion years from now?

Radium-226 has a half-life of 1602 years. If you start out with 15 grams of radium-226 how much will be left after 3 half-lives?
1.875g
What percentage of a radioactive element will be left after 1 half-life?
Half life is pretty much self explanatory in that after they go through 1 half life half of the radioactive decay remains. 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 = 0.125 = 12.5% or you can divide 100% by 2, 3 times and you'll get 12.5%
A sample of a radioactive element has a mass of 80 g. How much parent and daughter materials are in the sample after two half-lives?
A half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the material to decay. So if you started with 80g After 1 half-life you would have 40 g After 2 half-lives you would have 20 g After three half-lives you would have 10 g
Chaser-381 has a half life of 2 days if you start with 8 grams of chaser-381 how much would you have left after eight days?
Eight days would be four half-lives. One-half to the fourth power is one-sixteenth. So you would have half a gram left.
