All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half life?

No, halflife is a bulk statistical property of a quantity of an isotope of an element.
Individual nuclei do not have halflives, instead they have a probability of decaying at the current moment of time.

How long is the half life of radioactive water?
The half life of radioactive water depends on what radioactive nuclides are present in the water.
What is the half-life of every radioactive element?
The same element can have different half-lives, for different isotopes. You can find a list at the Wikipedia article "List of radioactive isotopes by half-life". This list is NOT complete; a complete list would have about 3000 nuclides (that is, isotopes).
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
What is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a radioactive element to decay?
The half-life
Is the half-life of a chemical element one-half of the amount of a radioactive element to decay?
The half-life is the time that it takes for 1/2 of a material to decay.
Which statement is true about half-lives?
A. Different atoms of the same nuclide have different half-lives.B. each radioactive nuclide has its own half-life.C. All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half-life.D. All radioactive nuclides have the same half-life.

Which statement is true about half-lives a Different atoms of the same element have different half-lives. b Each radioactive isotope has its own half-life. c All radioactive nuclides of an element?
The correct answer is: Half-lives are not affected by temperature.
How can half lives be shortened?
Half life of an element can't be changed.. It is a characteristic of a radioactive element which is independent of chemical and physical conditions.. Half life is that time in which half of radioactive sample( i.e., a radioactive element) decomposes. So no matter what amount you take half life of an element remains same.
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
The time it takes for half of the radioactive element to decay is the element's what?
The time it takes for half the atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is called the half life.
How long will it take half of a radioactive sample to decay?
The length of time depends on the element and isotope, but the point at which half of the sample has decayed is known as the half-life.
Do all elements have half life's?
Yes. From a technical point of view, all elements have isotopes (nuclides) that are radioactive and therefore have half-lives. But the majority of these are artificial - man made, and do not occur in nature on Earth. Even hydrogen has nuclides of deuterium and tritium, deuterium is stable and natural, and tritium has a half life of 12.33 years. Having said that, there are a number of nuclides that are stable and occur naturally.
What kind of radioactive waste has the longest half-life?
Uranium has the longest half-life element
