There are samples of two different isotopes,X and Y.Both contain the same number of radioactive atoms.Sample X has a half-life twice that of Y.How do their decay rates compare?
A) X has a greater rate than Y.
B) X has a smaller rate than Y.
C) The rates of X and Y are equal.
D) The rate depends on atomic number,not half-life.
