Q18. The amount of radioactive isotope _ with time.

  • A. Increases
  • B. Decreases
  • C. Remains constant
  • D. None of these

Explanation: The amount of a radioactive isotope decreases with time due to its natural process of radioactive decay. This decay occurs spontaneously, emitting radiation and transforming the nucleus of the isotope into a different nuclide.The rate at which the radioactive isotope decreases over time is described by its half-life. Each radioactive isotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the initial quantity of the isotope to decay.As time progresses, the amount of the radioactive isotope continues to decrease exponentially, following the decay curve described by its half-life.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. The amount of a radioactive isotope decreases with time due to its natural process of radioactive decay.
  • C. The amount of a radioactive isotope decreases with time due to its natural process of radioactive decay.
  • D. The amount of a radioactive isotope decreases with time due to its natural process of radioactive decay.
