The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time required for half the quantity of the isotope
Question:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time required for half the quantity of the isotope to decompose. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 x 109 years,and the half-life of uranium-234 is 2.5 x 109 years. How many times greater is the half-life of uranium-238 than uranium-234?
