### Theory

The law of radioactive decay predicts how the number of the not decayed nuclei of a given radioactive substance decreases in the course of time. The GREY circles of this simulation symbolize 100 (variable selectable up 400 or 1024) to  atomic nuclei of a radioactive substance whose half-life period (T1/2) amounts to 0.1 to 3.0 seconds. The scientfic graph on the right, in number of radioactive atoms versus time, RED trail represents represents the Number of radioactive atoms, N₁ not yet decayed nuclei at a given time t, predicted by the following law:

N1   =   N0 e -(ln2/T1/2)) t

when you play with the show model option, show me N1= No*exp(-ln(2)/T1/2*t)

similarly it is possible to also predict the number of decayed atoms using the formula

N2  =   N0 -N0 e -(ln2/T1/2)) t

when you play with the show model option, show me N2  = No-No*exp(-ln(2)/T1/2*t)

in the option both2 when selected, can display the rate of radioactive atoms versus time,

dN = pN0 e -(ln2/T1/2)) t

when you play with the show model option, show me dN = p*N0*exp(-ln(2)/T1/2*t)

the terms use are

N1 .... number of the not decayed nuclei

N2 .... number of the decayed nuclei

N0 ... number of the initially existing nuclei at time, t = 0
t .... time
T1/2 ....  is the time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its initial value

λ,  or sometimes also known as "lambda" the inverse of the mean lifetime, sometimes referred to as simply decay rate.

p  is probability of decaying where 0 means no chance at all, 1 is 100% chance of decaying

Formula that related some of these terms are

T1/2 = ln(2)/λ

$$\lambda = \frac{p}{dt}$$

The Ordinary Differential equations used is

$$\frac{dN_{1}}{dt} = - \lambda_{1}N_{1}$$
