ILTS Science Chemistry - Exam Topics Sample Questions

Which of the following lines show radioactive decay?





Correct Answer:
line 1


to understand which of the lines represent radioactive decay, it's essential to first comprehend what radioactive decay entails. radioactive decay is a stochastic (random) process at the level of single atoms, in which an unstable atomic nucleus transforms into a more stable nucleus, releasing energy in the form of emitted particles. this process follows a pattern described mathematically by an exponential decay function.

an exponential decay process is characterized by a quantity decreasing at a rate proportional to its current value. mathematically, this can be expressed as n(t) = n_0 * e^(-λt), where: - n(t) is the quantity at time t, - n_0 is the initial quantity, - λ (lambda) is the decay constant, - t is time, - e is the base of the natural logarithm.

in the context of the lines described: - line 1 is said to represent this exponential decay process, indicating that the number of particles decreases over time following the exponential function described above. - line 2, however, is described as representing exponential growth, which is the opposite of exponential decay. in exponential growth, the quantity increases over time, typically modeled as n(t) = n_0 * e^(kt), where k is a positive growth rate. - line 3 is noted to show a negative number of particles, which is not physically meaningful in this context as the number of particles cannot be negative.

given these descriptions, line 1 is the only line that correctly represents radioactive decay. the exponential decay model appropriately fits the process of a decaying unstable nucleus as observed in radioactive materials. lines 2 and 3 do not fit the criteria for radioactive decay because one suggests growth rather than decay, and the other involves an impossible physical condition (negative particles). therefore, the correct answer is line 1.
