1) The decay of radioactive isotopes in a chain can be modeled by a set of coupled differential equations known as the Bateman equations. 2) The Bateman equations can be solved using Laplace transforms to obtain expressions for the concentration of each isotope over time. 3) For a chain of isotopes with very different half-lives, the isotope with the longest half-life will dominate at long times.
