Use the definition of half-life to support why you pointed to a specific part of the image to make the claim the half-life is about 11 seconds

CLAMM: (Answer the question.) The half-life is about 11 seconds. EVIDENCE: (Point readers to the part of the image that supports your claim.) On the y-axis when undecayed nuclei is 50%, it means 50% of the nuclei has reacted and it gives the half-life of the isotope. REASONING: (Define half-life and use the definition to support why you pointed to a specific part of the image to make your claim.) Half-life is the time it takes for half of the original amount of a radioactive sample to decay.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Half life is the time during which the half of the radioactive material ( nuclei) get destroyed. 

So first of all we have to locate the amount of radioactive material ( nuclei) and need to find it's quantity at 50%

So point y-axis at 50 %

Now, move the pointer towards time axis (x-axis) and note the time.
