Yes, all elements have at least one radioactive isotope. Hydrogen has two isotopes, Deuterium and Tritium. H3 has a half life of 12.3 years.

Not all isotopes are radioactive. About half way up the atomic mass table, Tin appears to have the greatest number of stable isotopes - ten out of about 124 isotopes in all.

Are regular isotopes originaly stable?

Some natural isotopes are stable or have half-lives greater than the age of the Universe. But other natural isotopes are radioactive and have finite half-lives. It all depends on the particular isotope.


What element that has no stable isotopes?

Technetium (Tc) is the element that has no stable isotopes. All of its isotopes are radioactive with half-lives ranging from minutes to millions of years.

How many half lives does it take for half of a radioisotope to dissipate?

It depends on the radioisotope. They do not all have the same half life.


Can all radioactive isotopes be used in radiometric dating?

No, not all radioactive isotopes be used in radiometric dating. Some have very very short half lives and would entirely disappear before any useful period of time passed.


Which element is most radioactive plutonium uranium or cerium?

All the isotopes of uranium and plutonium are radioactive; plutonium isotopes have a greater specific activity. For cerium: the isotopes 136Ce and 142Ce are possible to be radioactive but having very long half lives and a not significative radioactivity.


Why do all isotopes have the same chemical?

All Isotopes have the same chemical properties because: * they all have the same electrons in the OUTERMOST shell. * they all have the same electronic configuration.


What is the ratio of parent to daughter isotopes after eight half lives?

100(.50)^.5 = 70.71%..50 represents the 50% remainder per half-life, taken to the power of .5 or the number of half-lives that pass, all multiplied by 100 to make the answer a percentage.

What is the half life of a radioistope?

The half-life of every isotope is different. Some elements and isotopes have half-lives in millions of years, while some elements have half-lives measured in milliseconds. You can look up all of the specifics for any element at webelements dot com.


When did all primordial americium decay?

Because americium isotopes have not very long half lives any possible (probable) primordial americium disappeared many time ago.
