Question

The half-life of a radioisotope is the amount of time it takes for

Answer 1

half life: time taken for the radioactivity of any isotope to fall to half its original value

i hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Explanation :

Half life : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

The relation between the half-life and rate constant is:

`k=(0.693)/(t_(1/2))`

The half-life of the radioactive isotope is remains the same that means a constant value and it is not affected by any external conditions.
