Answer:

The answer to "the half-life of a radioactive element is the length of time it takes for half of a given amount of the  element to break down, or decay" is true. :)

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Half life is defined as the time that is required by a radioactive element to decay half of its initial concentration. These unstable elements decays continuously over a certain period of time until it becomes a stable one. The half life of every elements differs from one another. It plays an important role in calculating the age of a rock or fossil in the field of radioactivity.

For example, the half life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5700 years and it is suitable for dating geologically recent rocks or fossils.

Thus, the above statement is true.
