Tossing candles was a great way to simulate half-life because it showed how almost half of the parent atoms decay into daughter atoms after each half-life.

Question

True or false

Answer 1

False. Tossing candles does not simulate half-life. Half-life refers to the time it takes for half of the parent atoms to decay into daughter atoms in a radioactive substance. Tossing candles does not involve radioactive decay and therefore does not accurately represent or simulate half-life.
