Question: Technetium 9 9 m ( ? 9 9 m T c ) is a radioactive nucleus with a half - life of 6 . 0

Technetium 99 m (?99mTc) is a radioactive nucleus with a half-life of 6.03 hours. After a ?99mTc nucleus emits a gamma ray, it becomes a ?99 Tc nucleus. ?99Tc is also radioactive, with a halflife of 213000 years, and it decays into ?99Ru.
2 weeks after ?99mTc was administered to the patient, what fraction of it is ?99mTc? What fraction of it is ?99Tc? What fraction of it is ?99Ru?
?99mTc fraction =
?99Tc fraction =
?99 Ru fraction =
Technetium 9 9 m ( ? 9 9 m T c ) is a radioactive
