2) Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Into what element does Uranium 238 transmute? What is the atomic number of the new element? 4) Technetium-99m is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 6 hours. If a sample of was originally 100 mg, how much would remain after 24 hours? 5) How long would it take a 1-kg radioactive substance with a half-life of 100 years to decay into 12.5 g?
