(Engage) Every active star in the universe is generating energy through reactions. The sun is composed of gases, primarily hydrogen and helium, which are compressed into a form of matter called . The of such a large mass of gas causes intense pressure at the core of the sun which, combined with the extreme temperature (15,000,000°C), allows nuclear reactions to occur.

(Explore 1) Which sentence explains why C-12 and C-13 are more prevalent on Earth.
(Explore 1) Some isotopes are unstable. The unstable isotopes will radioactively at a continuous, predictable rate. When unstable isotopes decay, they radioactive particles. Eventually they also transform into different elements.

Radioactive decay of atoms does not happen all at once. It happens and is impossible to predict when and which atoms will decay...it is a process. The only thing that can be determined is the rate of decay, which by isotope. The number of decays is to the number of particles in the sample. The amount of time for half of a sample of a particular isotope to decay is and is known as the half-life of the isotope.
