Half life | Radioactivity | Physics | FuseSchool

This atom has an unstable nucleus. Any moment now it may undergo radioactive decay. Any time now... Or it may not! We just don’t know, as decay is a random event. We cannot predict when any single nucleus will decay. But we can say, if we have a large enough number of atoms, then decay will happen somewhere in a sample. If we time how long it takes for half of the atoms to undergo decay we have a measure, half-life, of a rate of decay.

What is meant by the initial amount of C-14, how do we measure the initial amount in comparison to what is left at the moment?

Can we say that randomness, is random to us just because we have not figured out a rule for it?

:25 what was that? We can't predict.... then continues on explaining that we can? How do you test with certainty, the half life of anything if its only good for 55, 000 years? Just asking. Looking for answers.

Why is it called "half-life" not a full life? I don't get it :(
