The time needed for half of the nuclei in a sample to decay is the âhalf-life.â Measured half-lives vary from 10 -22 seconds to over 10 10 years (10 17 seconds) â an enormous range! Note that two half-lives do NOT make a âwhole lifeâ.After half of the atoms decay, we reset the clock.he time needed for half of the nuclei in a sample to decay is the âhalf-life.â Measured half-lives vary from 10 -22 seconds to over 10 10 years (10 17 seconds) â an enormous range!
