Exhibiting or caused by radioactivity.
Radioactivity: the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay.
Examples are radioactive isotopes [an unstable nucleus that undergoes radioactive decay], radioactive dating [the process by which the approximate age of an object is determined based on the amount of certain radioactive nuclides present], and radioactive decay [the spontaneous disintegration of a nucleus into a slightly lighter and more stable nucleus, accompanied by emission of particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both.]

Emitting radiation as a result of unstable nuclei

∙ 10y agoRadioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.

∙ 9y agoRadioactive is defined as the emitting of ionizing radiation or particles. This is known as nuclear decay and is the process of an unstable atom losing energy by emitting ionizing radiation.

Is curium dangerous element?
Cerium is very mildly radioactive, to the point of being non radioactive for most practical purposes. Natural cerium is made up of 88.886% stable material, but 11.114% is made up of 142Ce, which has a half life of 50,000,000,000,000,000 years. Like all other elements, there are radioactive synthetic isotopes of cerium.
Are there connections between radioactive rays and subatomic particles?
yes.light is necessary for projecting radio or radioactive rays.the sun is a nuclear power plant which consists of both atomic and sub-atomic particles and also being radioactive the answer to me would seem to be yes.

no
How do an isotopes and a radioactive isotopes ifferent?
Simply by being radioactive or not. An isotope is an atomic variant of the same element, and has the same chemical characteristics, but is not necessarily radioactive.
