Question
Chapter 20, Problem 127RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of radioactive
Concept Introduction:
The nuclei that are heavy and unstable undergo the process of decay and lose their counter parts in order to gain stability. This process is known as radioactive decay or radioactivity.
The radioactive decay of a nucleus always follows first order kinetics.
