Tossing candies (or whatever you used) 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.

A) True
B) False

1 answer

A) True

Tossing candies (or similar objects) can effectively simulate the concept of half-life by visually demonstrating how a portion of "parent" atoms decays into "daughter" atoms over successive rounds, helping to illustrate the randomness and statistical nature of radioactive decay.
