Radioactive Decay Kinetics
Radioactive Decay Kinetics . Roussel kinetics of radioactive decay september 3, 2018 4/20 Radioactivity, or radioactive decay, is the emission of a particle or a photon that results from the spontaneous decomposition of the unstable nucleus of an atom. PPT CHEM 312 Lecture 3 Radioactive Decay from www.slideserve.com 1 st order decay kinetics all radioisotopes undergo first order decay kinetics. Radioactive kinetics the rate of decay of a radioisotope is proportional to the number of atoms of that isotope present at that instant. The rate of radioactive decay is an intrinsic property of each radioactive isotope that is independent of the chemical and physical form of the radioactive.
