Is uranium a example of a radioactive element?

All elements have radioactive isotopes. Add a couple of hundred neutrons, and any stable element becomes radioactive.Technetium, promethium, and anything heavier than bismuth (element 83) will have radioactive decay.radio active elements can be uranium,radium,thorium,polonium,actinium etc.usually all elements of atomic number higher than 82 show radioactivity.
