The half-life of beryllium varies according which isotope of this element we consider. There are a number of isotopes, and half-lives range from a small fraction of a second to many thousands of years. Use the link below to see a list of the isotopes of beryllium and their half-lives.

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.
What is the term given to the time it take for one half of a sample of radioactive nuclei to decay?
I believe that term would be 'half-life'
What elements have 5 protons?
Boron, B, with an atomic number of 5.
What does half life of a pill mean?
A "Half-Life" is not half of a life, it is half of the life, then half of that life, and then half of THAT life, and so on and so on. For example: Rock has a half life of 100 ---> 50 ---> 25 ---> 12.5 ---> 6.25 ---> and so on. You just keep dividing the life it has, by 2. Another Example: If you take a dissolving vitamin, and weigh it (20g), and put it in water for 1 minute, it should dissolve into ALMOST half of its original weight, into 10g. Scientists often use the method of "Half-Life" to measure the age of a rock or rock formation. Sources: Am a student in science class
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.
What are the benefits of boron to human life?
boron helps makes magnets but plants need boron for proper health and we need plants.
How do you use boron in everyday life?
Boron is used in some cookware that makes it possible to go from the refridgerator to the oven without the pan cracking.
What are examples of isotopes with fewer neutrons than protons?
Hydrogen-1 (protium):1 proton, 0 neutrons (stable) Helium-2 (diproton): 2 protons, 0 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Helium-3: 2 protons, 1 neutron (stable) Lithium-4: 3 protons, 1 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Lithium-5: 3 protons, 2 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Beryllium-5: 4 protons, 1 neutron (mostly theoretical, unstable, extremely short half-life if formed) Beryllium-5: 4 protons, 2 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Beryllium-5: 4 protons, 3 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Boron-6: 5 protons, 1 neutron (mostly theoretical, extremely short half-life if formed) Boron-7: 5 protons, 2 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Boron-8: 5 protons, 3 neutron (unstable - short half-life) Boron-9: 5 protons, 4 neutron (unstable - extremely short half-life) Carbon-8: 6 protons, 2 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Carbon-9: 6 protons, 3 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Carbon-10: 6 protons, 4 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Carbon-11: 6 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Nitrogen-10: 7 protons, 3 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Nitrogen-11: 7 protons, 4 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Nitrogen-12: 7 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Nitrogen-13: 7 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Oxygen-12: 8 protons, 4 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Oxygen-13: 8 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Oxygen-14: 8 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Oxygen-15: 8 protons, 7 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Fluorine-14: 9 protons, 5 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Fluorine-15: 9 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Fluorine-16: 9 protons, 7 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Fluorine-17: 9 protons, 8 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Neon-16: 10 protons, 6 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Neon-17: 10 protons, 7 neutrons (unstable - extremely short half-life) Neon-18: 10 protons, 8 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) Neon-19: 10 protons, 9 neutrons (unstable - short half-life) ... and the list goes on
When was the element boron named boron?
boron was named boron because of the properties it has
Which element has atoms which contain 5 protons?
The answer is Boron :)
What is the allotropes for boron?
two allotropes of boron ; crystalline boron and brown amorphous boron

What is boron discovery?
Boron discovery is the discovery of Boron.
Does Half life opposing force require Half life?
No. Half Life: Opposing Force does not require neither Half Life nor Half Life: Blue Shift.
How is it that naturally occurring boron is 10.8 and normal boron is different?
The naturally occuring boron is the normal boron there is no synthetic or abnormal boron.
What element has an atomic mass of 8 and positive charge of 3?
There are no stable isotopes with atomic mass 8. A boron ion could reasonably have charge +3, but 8B is very radioactive with a half life of less than a second.
What is the name of this formula BF3?
Boron trifluoride.
