Two radioactive elements M and N each has a half-life of 50 years and 120 years respectively : which is more stable and why

Answers

Answered by sanketdhande88

Answer:

N is more stable.

Mark it brainliest please!!

Explanation:

a long half-life would imply that it takes a very long time for the nucleus to decay to half of its initial mass. This of course means that it is very stable.

On the other hand short a half-life, on the other hand, implies that the radioactive substance decays to half of its initial mass very quickly.
