If a substance is radioactive, this means that the nucleus is unstable and will therefore decay by any number of processes (alpha decay, beta decay, etc.). The decay of radioactive elements follows first-order kinetics. Therefore, the rate of decay can be described by the same integrated rate equations and half-life equations that are used to describe the rate of first-order chemical reactions: lnAtA0=−ktlnAtA0=−kt and t1/2=0.693kt1/2=0.693k where A0A0A_0 is the initial amount or activity, AtAtA_t is the amount or activity at...
