The decay of a radioactive element follows first order kinetics. Thus, |
|
a) |
Half-life period = a constant/ , where is decay constant |
b) |
The rate of decay is independent of temperature |
c) |
The rate can be altered by changing chemical conditions |
d) |
The element will be completely transformed into new element after expiry of two half-life period |
