Half-Life of M&Ms Introduction Half-life is the time required for something to fall to half its initial value. The half-life of a radioactive element is the time it takes for half of its atoms to decay into something else. M&Ms were chosen because they all have the same m mark on the on one side. In this lab you will go through predicting and counting the number of remaining "mark-side up" candies that should help understand that rates of decay of unstable nuclei and how it can be measured;

The Half-Life of a Radioisotope: 10-22-14 Abstract: The half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for half the atoms in a given sample to undergo radioactive‚ or nuclear decay. The amount of radioactive isotope remaining can be calculated using the equation‚ t1/2 = .693/K. A sample data set was provided due to safety concerns. Using the data set‚ a half-life of 14.27days -1 was calculated using graphical linear regression analysis. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to
