The answer to the second question is no. No one can tell when a particular atom of a radioactive substance will decay. However, when we are dealing with large numbers of radioactive atoms we can predict how long it will take for a certain number or percentage of the atoms to decay. For each radioactive isotope, we can predict a certain half-life.
Lesson Summary. Let's review. Radiometric dating is a method used to date rocks and other objects based on the known decay rate of radioactive isotopes. The decay rate is referring to radioactive decay, which is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by releasing radiation.or example, uranium-lead dating can be used to find the age of a uranium-containing mineral. It works because we know the fixed radioactive decay rates of uranium-238, which decays to lead-206, and for uranium-235, which decays to lead-207.
