If substance x decays by emitting 100% gas which escapes leaving no residues, then the half-life is half the time elapsed since noon Tuesday

If substance x contains some components which decay by say, K capture (the nucleus captures one of its orbiting electrons) with practically no change in mass, then the picture is complicated because it may have a short half-life, not detectable by weighing.

For this reason half-life is not determined or defined by weight. It is defined by the proportion of the original atomic species which remains after some interval of time, possibly determined by, say, chemical or spectroscopic analysis.

Which of the following is an example of groupthink?

A good example could be: A group of teenagers are hanging out on a Tuesday night. One person suggests going to a concert late at night. A few other members of the group think also think it would be fun. The one or two members of the group who don't want to go, are reserved, and go along anyway. Although the two members want to go on Friday night instead, they don't want conflict, and so, the other members think that they want to go too. Groupthink will cause this group to make a possibly bad decision, and the two members to be unhappy.
