Expert Solution

Concept and Principle:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable nucleus spontaneously loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and radiation. They reduce the number of protons or neutrons to attain a stable configuration.

The rate at which this decay takes place in a given sample of radioactive material is called activity. A higher activity implies more decay per second.
