    Half-life it tells you about the amount of time needed that half of the quantity of an isotope to disintegrate.

    For carbon-14, assuming that the daughter isotope is a stable one and does not disintegrate further, you have:

    parent isotope daughter isotope years

    100% 0% 0

    50% 50% 5,730

    25% 75% 11,460
