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

Answer 1

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

This means that the half-life of Uranium-238 (or any radioactive isotope) does not change regardless of the number of particles present. The half-life is a characteristic property of the isotope and represents the time it takes for half of a sample to decay. Increasing the number of U particles in the bucket does not affect the half-life; it remains the same. This teaches us that half-life is independent of the amount of substance present.
