Explanation:

Yes, the decay half-life of a radioactive material can be changed. Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. ... It is impossible to predict when an individual radioactive atom will decay.

Q. Can the decay half-life of a radioactive material be changed?

ans. The half-life of radioactive decay can also be altered by changing the state of the electrons surrounding the nucleus. ... Simply by changing the neighboring atoms that are bonded to a radioactive isotope, we can change its half-life. However, the change in half-life accomplished in this way is typically small.

hope it helps you.
