Expert Solution
Step 1 radioactivity

in radioactivity is defined as unstable nuclei is decay into stable nuclei and emits electromagnetic rays ,

Step 2 calculation

reaction between half life and= decay amount 

A = A° (1/2)n

n = no. Of half life = t / t1/2

A° = initial amount 

amount after 1000 years = 2g 

t1/2 = 1599 years,  

n = 1000/1599 = 0.625

2 = A° (1/2)0.625
