Radioactive elements have a half-life. Half-life occurs naturally in some of the radioactive elements while it could be artificially stimulated in some other elements.
The half life of any given element is the time that is required for one half of the sample to decay.
For example: If you have 10 grams of a radioactive element to start with….. after one half-life there will be 5 grams of the radioactive element left.
After another half-life, there will be 2.5 g of the original element left, after another half-life, 1.25 g will be left.
