Answer:

The half-life of reactants in a nuclear decay reaction remains constant over time, but the mass of reactants that are consumed decreases.

Explanation:

The half-life is defined as the time in which half of the starting number of radioactive atoms decayed in products. The half-life it is a intrinsec property of the reactant atom and it is a constant. As time passes more and more atoms are decaying through the nuclear reaction so the quantity of the radioactive compounds (reactant) is decreasing.

ANTONII [103]
The answer is: They have no freedom to move.
However is not completely true, as even in a solid atoms still a move a bit (vibrations).

If atoms were able to slide past each other, then we would have a liquid not a solid. Liquids "flow" but never really "break apart" this is because atoms are sliding between them, think of these as a bucket of marbles rolling down a slope.

If they are free to move in all directions, then you have a gas; that's why someone uses perfume in a room, eventually everyone smells it.
