Plot the parent daughter curves on the graph below based on the values of their abundances with time (in half -lives ). The purpose of this graph is to observe the rate of decay of a random isotope using the half -lives . Your graph should have 2 lines. where the Y-axis is the concentration and the X-axis is the number of half -lives .

The following table shows the number of half-lives and the corresponding remaining parent as well as daughter isotopes whereas the graph in the explanation shows the plotted data points. 

Number of Half-lives 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Remaining parent isotopes percentage 100 50 25 12.5 6.25 3.125 1.563
Remaining daughter isotopes percentage 0 50 75 87.5 93.75 96.875 98.437

Step-by-step explanation

Please see the following graph that shows the percentage of parent and daughter atoms versus the number of half-lives. The number of half-lives is on the X-axis and the percentage of parent and daughter atoms is on the Y-axis. The black-colored line is for the remaining parent isotope percentage and the red-colored line is for the remaining daughter isotope percentage.

110 100 90 80 70 Remaining 60 parent & Parent daughter percentage percentage 50 - Daughter 40 percentage 30 20 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Number of Half-Lives
