Which of the following is true? (a) Alpha emission follows first order kinetics

Question

Which of the following is true? (a) Alpha emission follows first order kinetics and beta emission and positron emission both follow second order kinetics. (b) Alpha emission follows second order kinetics and beta emission and positron emission both follow first order kinetics. (c) Alpha emission and beta on both follow first order kinetics and positron emission follows second order kinetics. (d) Alpha emission, beta emission, and positron order (e) Alpha emission, beta emission, and positron emission all follow first order kinetics.

Explanation / Answer

(e) Alpha emission, beta emission, and positron emission all follow the first order kinetics.

All radioactive decays follow the first order kinetic nuclear reactions and the reason is the rate of decay is directly proportional to amount of substance.
