Arjun is a scientist working with radioactive materials. He recently obtained a fresh sample of Barium-122 weighing 80g. This particular isotope has a half-life of 2 minutes. Unfortunately, it takes Arjun 10 minutes to set up his experiment. Noah and Michael are curious to know how much Barium-122 will be left when Arjun finally begins his experiment?
0.25g
2.5g
25g
80g
Emma, William, and James are studying about radioactive elements in their science class. Their teacher explained that when an element is radioactive, it means what?
the atom of the element emits radiation
the nuclei of the element are unstable due to an uneven proton to neutron ratio
the nuclei of the element changes to become stable
all of the above
