if all the daughters have the same parents the logical answer is 2 parents making it appproximately 11.765% Or if the parents were not present in the sample O%

What type of radioactive nuclide is injected into a person who is about to undergo a PET scan?
an unstable, radioactive isotope that contains too many protons
Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
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 happens to an atom whos nucleus decomposes?
It's called Radioactive Decay. It transforms the atom (or "parent nuclide") into a "daughter nuclide"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay
What is the name of the daughter nuclide?
The daughter nuclide is the atom or atoms that result when a parent nuclide decays through emission of ionizing radiation or through fission.
Which formula below describes how naturally occurring chemical elements such as uranium thorium and potassium helped to heat the Earth's interior?
During radioactive decays heat is released and the center of the Earth is melted.
What is stable nucleon?
A stable nuclide is not radioactive and don't disintegrate.
Describe the concept of using radioactive elements to establish an age for a fossil Be sure to include how the parent and daughter elements are used in the determination of age?
A daughter product is either a different element altogether, or is a different nuclide of the same parent element. A daughter product may or may not be radioactive. radioactive decay is a nucleus consists of a bunch of protons and neutrons known as nucleons.
How many neutrons does carbon has when the radioactive nuclide used in dating fossils?
9
What radioactive decay processes do not reduce the atomic number of a nuclide?
Beta Decay.
What would you call a series of radioactive nuclides produced by radioactive decay until a stable nuclide is reached?
Decay Series
What is the result radioactive decay?
One type of atom (nuclide) breaks up, emitting some particle and energy, and converting into another type of nuclide.
Which statement is true about half-lives?
A. Different atoms of the same nuclide have different half-lives.B. each radioactive nuclide has its own half-life.C. All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half-life.D. All radioactive nuclides have the same half-life.
