Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetic. The mean life and half-life of nuclear decay process are `tau = 1// lambda` and `t_(1//2) = 0.693//lambda`. Therefore are a number of radioactive elements in nature, their abundance is directly proportional to half life. The amount remaining after `n` half lives of radioactive elements can be calculated using the relation:
`N = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n)`
The rate of radioactive decay is
A. Independent of lime
B. Independent of temperature
C. Dependent on catalyst
D. Dependent on the amount of elementsd not yet decayed
