1. hi i would like to now how i could do this?
the question says:
iodine-131 is a radiactive element used in the medical diagnosis and treatment of thyroid problems. iodine-131 undergoes simultaneous beta and gamma decay and has a half-life of 8.00 days.
2.im ask to write the complete decay equation for iodine-131
3. i know the formula for the life time is N=No(1/2)^n and n=time after/half-life...T(1/2)
but I am not sure if that's the equation to do the decay...
...or the complete decay equation they are asking for is a series of radioactive elements.. like the folowing
ex: 226 Ra--->222 Rn + 4 He
... 88....86...2
if is as the example I am not sure how to do it..could someone explain me how could i do it ? thanks
