The half life of the radioactive isotope of iodine comes into play when it is being prescribed as treatment for some thyroid conditions. In order for the material to be of the correct strength, it has to be prepared, delivered and administered at just the right time.
Bismuth-209 has a half life of 1.9 x 1019 years.
Potassium-40 has a half life of 1.248 x 109 years.
Uranium-225 has a half life of 7.038 x 108 years.
Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years.
Hydrogen-3, which is commonly called tritium, has a half life of 12.32 years.
Xenon-135 has a half life of 9.14 hours.
Silicon-27 has a half life of 4.16 seconds.
Lead-180 has a half life of 0.0045 seconds.
Copper-54 has a half life of less than 0.000000075 seconds.
The half-life of uranium-238 is about 4.47 billion years and that of uranium-235 is 704 million years.
Uranium-238
It is 2.6 years.
One-half of the original amount. That's precisely the definition of "half-life".
I assume you mean "half life". That means, how long does it take for half of the atoms in a sample to decay.
The length of time it takes for half of a radioactive sample to decay
It is 100 years.
It depends on the radioisotope. They do not all have the same half life.
