Answer:

Whether or not a given isotope is radioactive is a characteristic of that particular isotope. Some isotopes are stable indefinitely, while others are radioactive and decay through a characteristic form of emission. As time passes, less and less of the radioactive isotope will be present, and the level of radioactivity decreases. 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.

Consider the following example. Suppose we have 100.0 g of tritium (a radioactive isotope of hydrogen). It has a half-life of 12.3 y. After 12.3 y, half of the sample will have decayed from hydrogen-3 to helium-3 by emitting a beta particle, so that only 50.0 g of the original tritium remains. After another 12.3 y—making a total of 24.6 y—another half of the remaining tritium will have decayed, leaving 25.0 g of tritium. After another 12.3 y—now a total of 36.9 y—another half of the remaining tritium will have decayed, leaving 12.5 g. This sequence of events is illustrated in Figure 15.1 “Radioactive Decay”.

2. Two organisms would be most closely related if both have the same classification in which of the following groups?
raketka [301]

Answer: D. Species

Explanation:

Species is a group of population in which organisms have many common characteristics and they are capable of interbreeding and producing viable fertile offsprings. The members belonging to the same class and phylum have less common characteristics if they interbreed they may not produce viable fertile offsprings. Also, the organisms of the same kingdom have least common characteristics and will not have viable fertile offsprings after interbreeding.
