An interesting and useful aspect of radioactive decay is half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for one-half of a radioactive isotope to decay. The half-life of a specific radioactive isotope is constant; it is unaffected by coTnditions and is independent of the initial amount of that isotope.
Because I (iodide) is better leaving group than Cl, so it will leave when this molecule is reacted with strong base (sodium tert-butyl oxide) giving the elimination product provided in picture<span />
