Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5.730 years. 
Using the formula;
New mass = original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives (in this case n=1 ) 
New mass = 2 g × (1/2)^1     
                  = 1 g
Therefore; the mass of carbon-14 that remains will be 1 g

Unstable isotopes undergo radioactive decay. what occurs during radioactive decay?
mel-nik [20]
Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>
