Answer: The statement is true

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time taken for half of the total number of atoms in a given sample of the isotope to decay.

For instance

The half-life of radium is 1622 years. This means that if we have 1000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622 years, 500 atoms would have disintegrated, leaving 500 undecayed radium atoms

Thus, the statement is true
