How is the half life of an isotope defined?
A half-life is the time taken for the radioactivity of a material to fall to half its original value. A material can undergo infinite half-lives because each time it falls to half the next half-life falls to half of that half: No half-lives have elapsed when radioactivity is at the original amount; 1/1. 1 half-life is when radioactivity is at 1/2 2 half-lives is when radioactivity is at 1/4. 3 half-lives is when radioactivity is at 1/8. 4 half-lives is when radioactivity is at 1/16. And so on.
What fraction of a radioactive sample remains after one half-life?
Half of the original sample of a radio isotope remains after a half-life period. After two half-life periods, one-fourth of the radio isotope remains.
If the half-life of a radionuclide is 1 month is a sample of it completely decayed after 2 months?
No, it is not. If a radionuclide has a half-life of 1 month, half is gone after 1 month. Half of the half that is left will be gone after 2 months, and that will leave 1/4th of the original amount left after the second month.
How long is berkelium's 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.

What approximate amount of the element remains after 3 half-lives have elapsed?
1/8 amount of the element will reamain. After 1 half-life there is 1/2 left After the 2nd half-life there is 1/2 of 1/2 left which is 1/4 After the 3rd half-life there is 1/2 of 1/4 left which is 1/8

No, it is not. If a radionuclide has a half-life of 1 month, half is gone after 1 month. Half of the half that is left will be gone after 2 months, and that will leave 1/4th of the original amount left after the second month.
How long is berkelium's half- life?
The half life of the most important isotope of berkelium - 247Bk - is 1 380 years.
How much original matter remains after 9 hours if the matter has a half-life of 3 hours?
A half-life means half the original matter decays and is gone after that period. Something with a 3 hour half-live will have only 1/2 its amount left after 3 hours. After 6 hours, only 1/4th is left, and after 9 hours, only 1/8th is left. After one half-life, half is gone. Half is left. After another half-life, half of the remaining half is gone, leaving one quarter left. After the third half-life, half of the quarter is gone and half of that quarter remains, which is an eighth of the original.
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.
