What happens to the half-life of Uranium-238 if the number of U particles in the bucket is increased? What does this teach you about half life? (1 point)

Question

Half-life is a constant number.
• Half-life is confusing.
• Half-life is a totally random number.
• Half-life of a half-life is 75%.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Half-life is a constant number.

This means that the half-life of Uranium-238 does not change regardless of the number of U particles present in the bucket. Half-life is a characteristic property of a radioactive isotope and is defined as the time required for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay. It remains constant over time and is not affected by the quantity of the substance.
