Chapter 3 Radioactivity
is called the half-life, t 1/2. Of the original nuclei that did not decay, half will decay if we wait another half-life, leaving one-quarter of the original sample after a total time of two half-lives. After three half-lives, one-eighth of the original sample will remain and so on. Measured half-lives vary from tiny fractions of seconds to ...

www.sas.upenn.eduRadioactive decay is a first order process. Remember, half-life of a first order process is T1/2 = 0.693/k where k is the decay constant. We can determine the k constant by using the rate equation of a first order reaction ln (Nt/No) = -kt Example: If we start with 1.000 grams of Sr-90, 0.953 grams will remain after 2.0 years.
