The decay of radioactive elements occurs at a fixed rate. The half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for one half of the amount of unstable material to degrade into a more stable material. For example, a source will have an intensity of 100% when new. At one half-life, its intensity will be cut to 50% of the original intensity.
There is one in Russia, which is rich in diamonds as well as chromium. Among the isotopes of this element are 53Cr, 54Cr, and 52Cr, the last being the most abundant of the three. The half-life of one of the radioisotopes of chromium is extremely long â the most stable one, 50Cr, has a half-life of over 1.8Ã1017 years. On the other hand, the radioisotope 51Cr has a half-life of less than 28 days. The rest of the radioactive isotopes have even shorter half-lives - under 24 hours.
