: Every [[isotope]] has a unique '''half life'''.
: The '''half life''' of an [[isotope]] depends on how [[Stable Isotope|stable]] the [[isotope]] is.
: The '''half life''' of an [[isotope]] can be determined by measuring the [[emission]] of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]]. The time it takes for the [[Count Rate|count rate]] of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]] to halve, is the same as its '''half life'''.
