Radioactive Decay

Radioactive Decay

Radioactive decay is a stochastic process at how much single atoms, as, according to quantum theory, it is unattainable to predict every time a particular atom will certainly decay. The chance that given atom will certainly decay never modifications, that is, regardless of how long this atom has been around. For a large bunch of atoms however, the decay rate for collection can be calculated using their company measured decay constants or half-lives.
