An appropriate model of the radioactive decay of a group of atoms would be popping a bag of popcorn. This analogy works because, similar to radioactive decay, the popping of the popcorn kernels is unpredictable in terms of when each kernel will pop, and once a kernel has popped (an atom has decayed), it cannot revert to its original state.
The process of radioactive decay is unpredictable and irreversible. Which option would be an appropriate model of the radioactive decay of a group of atoms?(1 point)
