Question:What is the reaction order of radioactive decay? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reaction order of radioactivity decay is 1st order kinetics.

Step by step solution

01

The Kinetics of Radioactive Decay

The decrease in the number of radioactive nuclei per unit time is the rate of decay, or activity, of a sample of a radioactive substance.

02

Reaction order of radioactive decay

The rate of decay of an atom during radioactive decay is precisely proportional to the initial amount present; hence it is first order decay.
