Question

What does it mean that radioactive decay is exponential?

Answer 1

When a population or group of something is declining, and the amount that decreases is proportional to the size of the population, it's called exponential decay. In exponential decay, the total value decreases but the proportion that leaves remains constant over time. so the radioactivity would be declining proportionally to the size of radioactive area.
