Chapter 22 REVIEW

  1. Radiation is an unstable nucleus that spits out particles from the _NUCLEUS______.

  3. a) Do different atoms of the same element have different half-life (t ½ )? NO
    Different atoms of the same element have the SAME half-life.
    b) Do different isotopes have different half-lifes (t ½ )? YES
    Different isotopes have a different neutron number which results in different half-life
