Yes, uranium-238 (U-238) is a long-lived radioactive isotope. It has a half-life of about 4.5 billion years, making it one of the most stable isotopes of uranium. Due to its long half-life, U-238 is commonly used in dating geological formations and in nuclear applications.
Half the original amount.
Radiochemicals are chemical compounds containing a radioactive isotope.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Radioisotopes are isotopes that are unstable and undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation in the process. They are commonly used in medicine, industry, and research.
Radio active parent elements decay to stable daughter elements i.e. the radio active parent Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 Each radioactive isotope has it's own half life A half life is the time it takes for the parent radioactive element to decay to a daughter product, Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 with a half life of 1 1/4 billion years. Therin lies the problem of storing nuclear waste

radio-isotopes
A radioactive decay chain ends when a series of radioactive isotopes transforms into a stable isotope, which no longer undergoes further decay. Each isotope in the chain decays into another isotope or element until a stable state is reached. Once the final stable isotope is formed, the chain ceases, as there are no further radioactive transformations. This stable isotope can exist indefinitely without undergoing radioactive decay.

Radiometric or Radio-active decay dating involves looking at certain radio-active isotopes in the rocks of the earth, such as potassium and argon. Certain Isotopes have a half life and decay into another isotope after a certain amount of years. Geochemists use these types of dating to determine the age of rocks and how long the crust has been forming and moving.
