A half-life as a rule portrays the rot of discrete substances, for example, radioactive molecules. All things considered, it doesn't work to utilize the definition that states "half-life is the time required for precisely 50% of the substances to rot". For instance, if there are 3 radioactive molecules with a half-existence of one moment, there won't be "1.5 particles" left following one moment. 
T1/2 = 1.1. times the time taken to finish the work that is 90% done.
