Answer : The amount of time it takes for one-half of the original amount of an isotope to decay is known as its  Half life.

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:

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.

Thus, the amount of time it takes for one-half of the original amount of an isotope to decay is known as its  Half life.
