About this Simulation

This interactive radioactive decay model allows learners to explore how unstable atomic nuclei transform into daughter nuclei through radioactive decay. Students can adjust decay parameters, observe real-time decay curves, and investigate the relationship between parent and daughter nuclei populations as decay progresses.

Learning objectives: Understand the principles of radioactive decay and nuclear transformation | Analyse how parent nuclei populations change over time and predict decay patterns | Explore the role of decay constants and half-life in nuclear stability
