1 Radioactive Decay A series of reactions that starts with an unstable nucleus and results in a stable nucleus Transmutation- the conversion of one element into another element

2 Radiation Lifespan Half-life: time necessary for half of a mass of a radioactive element (parent) to decay to a stable nonradioactive (daughter) product

4 Practice Half-Life Iron-59 is used in medicine to diagnose blood circulation disorders. The half-life of iron-59 is 44.5 days. How much of a 2.0 mg sample will remain after 133.5 days?

5 After 250 years, 0.500 g of a radioisotope remains from a sample that had an original mass of 2.000 g. What is the element’s half-life? How much of the original sample remains after 1,000 years?

Unit 2: The Atom Half- Life. Half Life The time required for one half of the nuclei of a radioactive isotope sample to decay to atoms of a new element.

Unit 2: The Atom Half- Life. Half Life The time required for one half of the nuclei of a radioactive isotope sample to decay to atoms of a new element.
7.2 Half-Life the time it takes for half of a radioactive sample to decay is a constant rate (always the same half life for each element) Example: Strontium-90.
