Radioactive dating
Keywords:
Radioactive, radionuclides, emissionAbstract
This article is about the radioactive dating techniques used to determine the age of rocks, minerals etc.
The decay of radionuclides is independent of the physical and chemical conditions imposed on them. The decay of an individual nucleus however is a random process, but nevertheless the gross decay of many nuclei in a given sample provides a convinient way of measuring time. This is the basis of radioactive dating technique.
