In this situation it is generally uncommon to talk about half-life in the first place, but sometimes people will describe the decay in terms of its "first half-life", "second half-life", etc., where the first half-life is defined as the time required for decay from the initial value to 50%, the second half-life is from 50% to 25%, and so on.
Combined Science results in two GCSEs. Those with GCSEs in Combined Science can progress to A Levels in all of the three natural science subjects. Prior to this, around 1996, Combined Science GCSEs were available as an alternative to three separate Sciences for many exam boards.
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
The half-life, t 1/2, is the time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its initial value. The decay constant , λ " lambda ", the reciprocal of the mean lifetime (in s −1 ), sometimes referred to as simply decay rate .
Absorption half-life 1 h, elimination half-life 12 h. Biological half-life ( elimination half-life , pharmacological half-life ) is the time taken for concentration of a biological substance (such as a medication ) to decrease from its maximum concentration ( C max ) to half of C max in the blood plasma .

^^ Bismuth-209 was long believed to be stable, due to its half-life of 2.01×10 19 years, which is more than a billion times the age of the universe. § Europium-151 and samarium-147 are primordial nuclides with very long half-lives of 4.62×10 18 years and 1.066×10 11 years, respectively.
