Kinetics of Radioactive Decay
| KINETICS OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY | ||
|---|---|---|
| RadioactiveDecay |  | N = present number of nuclei N0 = initial number of nuclei λ = decay constant SI Unit = Bq = 1decay / s 1Ci = 3.7×1010 decays / s |
| Half-Life |  | |
• Half-Life – Time required for the mass of a nuclide to decay to half its initial mass
