to determine how long it will take to half of nuclids to decay, having use in radioactive materials operations
First, it isn't very accurate to talk about a radioactive "element"; you should talk about radioactive isotopes. Different isotopes of the same element can have very different behavior in this sense. For example, hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 are stable, while hydrogen-3 is not (half-life about 19 years).Individual atoms, in a radioactive isotope, will decay at a random moment. The half-life refers to how long it takes for half of the atoms in a given sample to decay (and convert to some other type of isotope).
Yes, fuel rods used in nuclear reactors are highly radioactive when they are in use. They contain radioactive isotopes such as uranium and plutonium, which emit harmful radiation. Proper handling and disposal are necessary to prevent exposure to these radioactive materials.
The "radioactive" safety symbol warns you that radioactive material or a radiation producing machine is near the symbol and you should take precautions to ensure that you are not unnecessarily exposed to ionizing radiation.
Radioactive thymidine is a form of thymidine that has been labeled with a radioactive isotope, typically tritium (3H) or carbon-14 (C-14). It is commonly used in molecular biology research to track DNA synthesis and cell division by measuring the incorporation of the radioactive thymidine into new DNA strands.
no,palladium doesn't release radio active energy.It can absorb hydrogen .
many. one example is lead-214 with a halflife of 26.8 minutes.
halflife

no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
The basic idea is to compare the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope within a material to the abundance of its decay products; it is known how fast the radioactive isotope decays.
Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H). Protium is the most abundant and consists of one proton and one electron. Deuterium contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron. Tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron.
Illadelph Halflife was created on 1996-09-24.
Half-life is the time it takes for one half of the radioactive material to decay. It is logarithmic, so after two half-lives, one quarter remains - then one eighth - etc.
No, halflife is a bulk statistical property of a quantity of an isotope of an element.Individual nuclei do not have halflives, instead they have a probability of decaying at the current moment of time.
Yes, but they also consume them. The uranium fuel used has a halflife measured in billions of years, the materials they produce have halflives measured in only hundreds or thousands of years. So in the long term balance of things they consume radioactive substances faster than they produce them.
Your question makes no sense.ordinary hydrogen has 1 proton and no neutronsdeuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutrontritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons, it is radioactive with a halflife of about 12 yearsThere are more isotopes of hydrogen with more neutrons, but they are radioactive and have such short halflives that they are nearly undetectable.
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
