Half life is the time taken for approximately half of the available nuclei in a sample of radioactive material to decay into something else. It's a characteristic of the isotope, for example, the half life of the isotope of iodine, I131 is 8.08 days. Half lives can vary from fractions of a second to thousands of years.
