Question

radioactive decay is a
a)zero order process
b)first order process
c) second order process
d) Third Order process ​

Answer 1

Answer:

b). First order process

Explanation:

Radioactive decay is a first-order process, the time required for half of the nuclei in any sample of a radioactive isotope to decay is a constant, called the half-life of the isotope.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) First order process

Explanation:

A chemical reaction involving only one chemical species, in which the rate of decrease of the concentration of the reactant is directly proportional to its concentration.

A common example of a first-order reaction is a radioactive decay process. In the atmosphere, photolysis reactions obey first-order kinetics. Also, unimolecular decomposition reactions at their high-pressure limit empirically follow first-order kinetics.
