Best Answer

I believe it is a first order reaction.

So the integrated rate law would be:

ln[A]final = -kt + ln[A]inital

Radioactive elements comprise a majority?

Yes. Stable elements are 83 elements. all elements above that of atomic number 83 (Bismuth) are radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are of the order of 1500 radioactive isotope.


Why radioactive decay is always first order reaction?

This is because only one isotope decay.


What is the amount of radioactive material needed to sustain a chain reaction in order to provide useful energy?

The critical mass.


Atoms of two or more different elements combined?

They combine in order to involve in chemical bonding.

The critical mass.


What is meant by the order of a chemical reaction?

The reaction order is the law in which determines which elements will begin the process first. It is dependent upon the Kinetic energy of each element. The reaction order in chemistry is difficult to determine.


What is recombination of chemical elements?

it is when a reaction occurs and elements are "taken" apart and put in a new order to create a new substance.


Is this true radioactive elements can undergo more than one decay or transmutation in order to form a stable nucleus?

Yes, is true.


What decays first duriing radioactive decay?

No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.


Why is it important to learn about chemical elements?

In chemistry it is very important to understand the properties of elements in order to predict their effects on other elements and compounds during chemical reactions. This information can be used to formulate a hypothesis for a reaction, or better understand the chemical processes that may have occurred in a reaction.


In what order are redox reaction balance?

To complete the balanced redox reaction, you simplify the equation by removing common elements on both sides.


Is it true that radioactive decay results in the fusion of stable nuclei along with the emission of multiple types of radiation?

No. Fusion is the combining of light elements into heavier elements (like 2 deuterium into 1 helium). radioactive decay is when you have an unstable atom releasing energy (and sometimes matter) in order to reach a more stable state.
