Based on the half-life of the radioactive sample and the properties of nuclear reactions, the correct options are:

  1. option A
  2. option C
  3. option C
  4. option D
  5. option B
  6. option A.
  7. option C.
  8. option C

What is half-life?

Half-life is the time taken for half the amount of atoms in an a radioactive element to decay.

1. After three half-lives, (1/2)³ of the original amount will remain = 1/8

1/8 of 16 = 2 ; option A

2. The balanced nuclear equation is given below:

action below:

/64 → /62 + 4He 2 ; option C

3. The trend of proton-to-neutron ratio as elements become heavier is that heavier elements have a greater amount of neutrons per proton; option C

4. The loss in mass of a compound composed of multiple atom types than those of the individual atoms they are made of is due to energy stored in the bonds in the nucleus known as the binding energy; option D

5. Initially, 12 g of carbon-14 was present

After one half-life, 6 g of carbon-14 remained, and 6 g of carbon-12 was present.

After two half-lives, 3 g of carbon-14 remained, and 9 grams of carbon-12 was present.

Age of the carbon sample = 5730 * 2 = 11460 years; option B

6.  A major argument against nuclear power plants is that they produce radioactive waste materials; option A.

7.  A common source of radiation that humans are exposed to come from outer space in the form of ultraviolet rays; option C.

8. The  balanced nuclear reaction is:

/92+/0 → /36+ 1/0 + 143Ba 56 ; option C

In conclusion, nuclear reaction results in changes in the nucleus of atoms.
