Question 1 • *MHS - Physical Science - S1 - CR

A sample is in the second half-life. What percent of the sample is stable at this point?

Answer
A
12.5%
B
25%
C
50%
D
75%

Explanation

After one half-life, 50% of the sample remains radioactive. After the second half-life, half of that 50% remains, so 25% is still radioactive. The rest, 100% − 25% = 75%, is stable, so the correct choice is 75%.
