Lab: Half-Life

Question 1 of 10 • S1S: Chemistry B (E4912 - AG)

Why are pennies good for simulating radioactive atoms? Check all that apply.

Answer

Pennies have two sides—one to represent radioactive form and another to represent nonradioactive form.

You can easily see the two different forms.

You can create a large sample of pennies.

Pennies are not actually hazardous.

The chance of an atom decaying during a half-life cycle is 50%, the same as flipping a coin and getting tails.
