The half-life of an isotope is how long it takes for half of the atoms in a mass to undergo radioactive decay. Say you have 40g of an elements isotope with a half-life of one year. After 1 year, there would be 20g of that isotope left, and 20g of a different isotope/element. After 2 years, there would be 10g, and so on...

When was Illadelph Halflife created?
Illadelph Halflife was created on 1996-09-24.
Which is the next stable element after uranium?
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
What is the affix element for important?
The affix element of the word "important" is
What element is an important element?
all elements are very important
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.
Will Valve be releasing a HalfLife 4?
Yes.
What element is important for blood?
Oxygen is an important element in blood your welcome :)
What element has 2 protons 8 neutrons and 2 electrons?
You think probably at 8 neutrons; in this case the extremely unstable isotope is 10He. Atomic mass: 10,0524; Halflife: 2,7.10-21 seconds
Can you use halflife to determine when dinosaurs died?
yes
What is the important of each element?
importance of element
Can you use carbon dating to find out how old something is around 40 years old or newer?
Carbon dating measures the amount of carbon halflives that an object's carbon-14 has seen. A halflife is the amount of time it takes for half of the C-14 present to decay into a different element (N-14). A carbon halflife is 5730 years so you wouldn't be able to tell with such a small amount of time.
