Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that half life of any substance is constant. The ratio of parent to daughter atoms after one half life will be 1:1, then after the second half life further half of the first half will decay and will produce more daughter and reduce more parent and making the ratio 1:3, the ratio after 3rd half life will be 1:7, then 1:15 and so on.
Let's suppose that we are given with 100 g of radioactive substance and we are calculating the mass of parent and daughter atoms after every half life as;
1/2 life Mass of Parent Mass of Daughter Ratio
0 100 g 0 100:0
1 50 50 1:1
2 25 75 1:3
3 12.5 87.5 1:7
4 6.25 93.75 1:15
