Question
A rate of decay of a radioactive element is independent of temperature, pressure, Infact for any external conditions. A simple law discovered by Rutherford states that a certain fraction of any sample of radioactive element undergoes change in a unit time.

Solution
The reaction ¹²D + ¹³T → ²⁴He + ⁰¹n is an example of nuclear fusion. In this process, two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.

In a radioactive material the activity at time t1, is A1 and at a later time t2, it is A2. If the decay constant of the material is λ, thenA1=A2e−λ(t1−t2)A1=A2eλ(t1−t2)A1=A2(t2/t1)A1=A2
The number of undecayed nuclei in the radioactive sample decays exponentially with time.
radioactive isotope decays with a rate proportional to the original amountof material present. If originally there is 50mg of the material present and aftertwo hours it has lost 10% of its mass, determine the half-life, the time at which itis half its original mass.
Measurements of a certain isotope tell you that the decay rate decreases from 9354 decays/minute to 3185 decays/minute over a period of 3.00 days. The half-life of this isotope in units of days and to one decimal place is:
