The characteristic of the uranium-238 isotope that makes it useful for dating rocks is its long half-life of about 4.5 billion years. This allows for accurate dating of rocks that are billions of years old.
The approximate half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years.
A plastic toothbrush can take hundreds of years to decompose, as it is not easily broken down by natural processes. Biodegradable toothbrushes made from materials like bamboo can decompose within a few months to a few years, depending on the specific material and conditions.
The energy produced from splitting uranium nuclei in a fission reaction is primarily in the form of heat. This heat is used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity in nuclear power plants.
The half-life of uranium-238 is about 4.5 billion years, while the half-life of uranium-235 is about 700 million years. This means that it takes that amount of time for half of the original amount of uranium to decay into its daughter isotopes.
Radioactivity can persist on uranium for billions of years, as uranium has a very long half-life. The most common isotope of uranium, uranium-238, has a half-life of about 4.5 billion years. Uranium-235, another isotope, has a shorter half-life of about 700 million years.
It takes billions of years for uranium to decay into lead. Uranium-238, the most common isotope of uranium, has a half-life of about 4.5 billion years, meaning it takes that long for half of a sample of uranium-238 to decay into lead-206.
Uranium-lead dating is often used for dating very old rocks, as it has a long half-life of about 4.5 billion years. This allows for dating rocks that are millions to billions of years old with good accuracy.
1700 years to decompose
Years after years uranium also will run out of the earth.
it takes about 10 years to decompose .
Uranium isotopes are used for dating older rocks (billions of years old) because their half-lives are longer than that of 14C. Uranium isotopes like 238U have half-lives in the millions to billions of years, making them ideal for dating Earth's age. 14C, with a half-life of about 5,730 years, is more suitable for dating materials up to around 50,000 years old.
Because it is not biodegradable.it is toxic when burnt and takes hundreds and billions of years to decompose.
The characteristic of the uranium-238 isotope that makes it useful for dating rocks is its long half-life of about 4.5 billion years. This allows for accurate dating of rocks that are billions of years old.
It takes about one to two million years for glass to decompose.
Fission in Uranium would take billions of years when its left to its own devices. Because of radioactive decay, it would either release alpha or beta radiation, or fission. The earth would have to be really old for that to maybe happen. Besides, Only less than 1% of Uranium is U-235, which is the only isotope of uranium that would fission, is found on earth.
Billions and billions of years....
