What does half-life represent in terms of pesticides?

  1. The breakdown of chemicals by soil microorganisms

  2. The tendency of a pesticide to turn into a gas or vapor

  3. A measure of the time needed for the chemical to degrade

  4. The movement of pesticides through water

The correct answer is: The tendency of a pesticide to turn into a gas or vapor

Half-life represents the tendency of a pesticide to turn into a gas or vapor. This is a measure of how quickly the pesticide breaks down and dissipates into the environment. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the breakdown of chemicals by soil microorganisms, which is a separate process from half-life. Option C is incorrect because it mentions the time needed for the chemical to degrade, but doesn't specifically address the gas or vapor aspect of half-life. Option D is incorrect because it discusses the movement of pesticides through water, which is not related to half-life.
