radioactive decay

Question

Radioactive decay follows:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

All **Radioactive Decay** processes are nuclear reactions that proceed randomly and independently.
- The rate of decay (activity) is directly proportional to the number of atoms present: $-\frac{dN}{dt} = \lambda N$
- This corresponds to **First-Order Kinetics**.
- Consequently, the half-life of a radioactive isotope is constant and independent of the starting quantity or environmental factors like temperature or pressure.
