The half-life of a radioactive isotope represents the average time it would take half of a collection of this type of nucleus to decay. For example, you start with a sample of 1000 Oxygen-15 (15O) nuclei, which has a half-life of 122 seconds. After 122 seconds, half of the 15O nuclei will have decayed into Nitrogen-15 (15N) nuclei. After another 122s, half of the remaining Oxygen nuclei will have also decayed, and so on. Suppose you start with 3.71×10315O nuclei...

Carbon 14 (C-14), a radioactive isotope of carbon, has a half-life of 5730 ± 40 years. Measuring the amount of this isotope left in the remains of animals and plants is how anthropologists determine the age of samples. Example: The skeletal remains of the so-called Pittsburgh Man, unearthed in Pennsylvania, had lost 82% of the C-14 they originally contained. Determine the approximate age of the bones assuming a half-life of 5730. (a) 14,000 years (b) 15,000 years (c) 17,000 years...
