The years that will take or 52.5 g of a 60.0 g sample to decay to its daughter isotope is 807 years.
Half-life is the time required to decay or undergo half the process of any element.
Given the sample is 60.0 g in which 52.5 g sample has to be decay
so, 60 - 52.5 = 7.5 g
It can be seen that it goes three half life
60 >30 >15 >7.5
Now, the half life is 269
269 × 3 = 807 years.
Thus, the years taken are 807 years.

Understanding the model of the atom helps predict how elements will react with each other.
For example, the ball-and-stick model is a molecular model of a chemical substance which is to display both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them.
The atoms are represented by spheres, connected by rods which represent the bonds.
Every ball represent one atom in one molecule and they have different colors for different atoms (for example, carbon is black, hydrogen is white, nitrogen is blue).
There also other models: skeletal models, polyhedral models, composite models, computer-based models.
