puoliintumisaikansa
Puoliintumisaikansa, often translated as half-life, is a fundamental concept in various scientific fields, particularly in nuclear physics, chemistry, and pharmacology. It represents the time required for a quantity of a substance to decay to half of its initial amount. This decay can refer to radioactive disintegration, the loss of concentration of a chemical compound, or the elimination of a drug from a biological system.
The concept of half-life is intrinsically linked to the rate of decay. For radioactive isotopes, the decay
In chemistry, half-life is used to describe the rate of reactions, especially in cases where the concentration
