niggasnopec said:Maybe someday...I must say I don't have much knowledge of physics, just in last grade of high school, although I am taking final exams in physics. Highscool physics is just not interessing as it may be...

The prediction of which atoms will radiate first in radioactive materials is based on their half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. Atoms with a shorter half-life will radiate first, followed by atoms with a longer half-life.
The main factor that influences which atoms will radiate first is the stability of the nucleus. Atoms with unstable nuclei are more likely to decay and radiate first. Other factors such as temperature, pressure, and external forces can also affect the rate of decay.
No, it is not possible to accurately predict the exact order in which atoms will radiate in radioactive materials. The decay of atoms is a random process and while we can make predictions based on half-life and other factors, the actual order of decay cannot be determined with certainty.
The rate of decay in radioactive materials is determined by the half-life of the atoms, which cannot be changed. However, external factors such as temperature and pressure can affect the rate of decay. For example, higher temperatures can increase the rate of decay while lower temperatures can slow it down.
The prediction of which atoms will radiate first in radioactive materials is useful in many applications, such as determining the safety of nuclear power plants and monitoring the decay of radioactive waste. It also helps scientists understand the behavior of atoms and the principles of radioactivity.
