Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 2500\ atoms}[/tex]

Explanation:

Half Life:

  • The time in which half of the radioactive substance decays is known as its half life.

Solution:

Atoms = 10,000

After 1st half life:

= 10,000 / 2

= 5,000 atoms

After 2nd half life:

= 5,000 / 2

= 2500 atoms

So, after 2 half lives, 2500 atoms remain.
