forms of a particular atom that varies in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. For instance‚ K-40 is a naturally occurring isotope of Potassium is far more radioactive than its siblings K-39 and K-41 because K-40 is much less stable. K-40 has a half-life of approximately 1.35 billion years and is found in essentially everything on Earth. K-40 can undergo beta decay and can transform to two different atoms: Calcium-40 and Argon-40. Approximately 10.72% of beta decay is K-40 transforming to Ar-40

The Half-Life of a Radioisotope: 10-22-14 Abstract: The half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for half the atoms in a given sample to undergo radioactive‚ or nuclear decay. The amount of radioactive isotope remaining can be calculated using the equation‚ t1/2 = .693/K. A sample data set was provided due to safety concerns. Using the data set‚ a half-life of 14.27days -1 was calculated using graphical linear regression analysis. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to
