∙ 13y agoA half-life, whether it is for radioactive elements or for medicine in your system, is the amount of time that the strength is half of what it was when you started measuring.

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.
As a sample of a radioactive element decays its half-life?
No, the half life remains exactly the same throughout
Element with shortest half life?
213At (Astatine) which has a half life of 125 nanoseconds or 0.000000125 seconds.
What does Half-Life of Uranium 235 mean?
Uranium is a radioactive element and conteneously disintegrate into smaller element, that time in which 1g of uranium becomes half g is known as half life period of uranium.
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.
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.
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.
As a sample of a radioactive element decays its half-life?
No, the half life remains exactly the same throughout
Is a period of an element the amount of time it takes for half of a radioactive isotope to decay?
False- the period is the horizontal row the element is in
What is the half-life of this element?
Without knowing the element and the specific isotope, this has no answer.
What is the half-life of the chemical element Ununpentium?
Ununpentium-288 has a half-life of 173 ms.
What kind of radioactive waste has the longest half-life?
Uranium has the longest half-life element
How is half time used on an element?
If you mean HALF LIFE, that is the length of time it takes a quantity of a radioactive element to lose half its radioactivity.
Element with shortest half life?
213At (Astatine) which has a half life of 125 nanoseconds or 0.000000125 seconds.
What is the time it takes for half of the Atoms of a radioactive element to decay?
The half-life
