I know nuclear decay reactions are first order reactions. Are they always first order reactions?
If so, then what does all this mean? For 0th order reactions, the half-life is proportional to the concentration of compound; for 2nd order reactions, half life is indirectly proportional to concentration of compound.
EDIT: nvm, i figured it out
