This is a second thread to clarify my first thread about a debate with my biology teacher. I went back in an edited the content and title but it still posts under my original title
anyway,,,,


what is the proper use of the term "radioactive decay" is it the amount of deacay that HAS occurred or the "rate of decay as it occurs? for the exact post read my first post about a disagreement with my biology teacher

I think this discussion can be had in the original thread. To avoid confusion, I will ask the mods to lock this thread.
