Ordinary water is not radioactive, so it has no half-life.
All atoms of a specific element have the same number of protons in their nucleus, but the number of neutrons in the nucleus may vary these are isotopes of that element.Hydrogen has several possible isotopes, only the first three of these are commonly referred to:hydrogen or protium or hydrogen-1, 1 proton 0 neutrons, stabledeuterium or hydrogen-2, 1 proton 1 neutron, stabletritium or hydrogen-3, 1 proton 2 neutrons, radioactive halflife 12.26 yearshydrogen-4, 1 proton 3 neutrons, radioactive halflife about 139 yoctosecondshydrogen-5, 1 proton 4 neutrons, radioactive halflife about 910 yoctosecondshydrogen-6, 1 proton 5 neutrons, radioactive halflife 290 yoctosecondshydrogen-7, 1 proton 6 neutrons, radioactive halflife 23 yoctosecondsetc.
halflife
The half life of radioactive water depends on what radioactive nuclides are present in the water.
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
Making any change in the half-life of an isotope of any element is generally something that lies outside our abilities. A very few radioactive materials have demonstrated a change in their half-lives when bathed in intense magnetic fields. Generally, however, the half-life on a given radionuclide is not something that can be changed. A number of experiments have been conducted wherein investigators have deliberately sought to influence radioactive half-life, but in all but the rarest cases, radionuclides are sublimely resistant to having their half-lives changed.
many. one example is lead-214 with a halflife of 26.8 minutes.

halflife
no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
my grandma
the halflife is 10 days
The basic idea is to compare the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope within a material to the abundance of its decay products; it is known how fast the radioactive isotope decays.
The half life of radioactive water depends on what radioactive nuclides are present in the water.
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
Half-life is the time it takes for one half of the radioactive material to decay. It is logarithmic, so after two half-lives, one quarter remains - then one eighth - etc.
