10.8 Numerical Dating with Radioactivity
■ Explain the principle of radiometric dating, including half-life, parent isotope,
and daughter product.
Radioactivity has provided a reliable means for calculating the numerical (absolute) age of
rocks, a procedure called radiometric dating. Radioactive isotopes, such as uranium-238,
emit particles from their nuclei that we call radiation. Ultimately, the process of decay…
