Question
Chapter 25, Problem 22E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of years for which a radioactive sample can be maintained for the disintegration rate 101 dis min-1 needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Chemical decay is also known as chemical decomposition. It is the process of breaking down of two or more fragments of a single entity.
If there is a decrease in rate proportional to its current value, it is subjected to exponential decay. This is given by
The process of decay by which an unstable nucleus loses its energy by emitting radiation is called radioactive decay.
The particles emitted by this process are alpha and beta particles.
They produce gamma rays or electrons in cases of internal conversion.
