To some extent most elements are radioactive whenever there is a possibility of an unstable isotope. However, generally speaking, gold is not considered to be radioactive. Having said that, radioactive gold can be made.
No it doesn't have any impact on a radio wave. Gold and radio waves are COMPLETELY different things and have no affect on each other.
Another answer:
Yes. Gold is a conductive metal, so it behaves the same way as any other conductor in the presence of radio waves. The electromagnetic field causes tiny currents in the conductor. So, gold could be used as an antenna or as shielding from radio waves; it would work just as well as aluminum or copper. In practice, of course, gold is rarely used, because good antennas and shielding can be made from much less-expensive materials.
Gold does have radioactive nuclides. Au199 has a decay half life of 3.14 days for example. And many other nuclides, but don't worry.
All naturally occurring gold is 197Au, which is not radioactive. There are also 36 radioactive synthetic isotopes of gold, all of which decay.
The natural gold is monoisotopic and non-radioactive.
Yes, americium is a radioactive metal. This element has no stable isotopes.
Most metals are stable and thus not radioactive.
Gold is a metal. Also classified as a "Non-Ferrous metal".
caesium is the most reactive non-radioactive metal and Florine is the most reactive non-metal, but francium is the most reactive, radioactive metal
Francium
Yes. Uranium is a radioactive metal
Plutonium is heavier than gold. It is a dense, radioactive metal that is commonly used in nuclear reactors and weapons.
This group, except for its radioactive member Uun, is often called the "coinage" metals. The specific metal names are copper, silver, and gold.
Gold does not rust, so neither do radioactive nuclides of gold.
No: Iodine is not a metal at all, but a nonmetal. It is not necessarily radioactive, but has some radioactive isotopes.
Yes, americium is a radioactive metal. This element has no stable isotopes.
Darmstadtium is a radioactive metal but supplementary data are not known.
No. Radon is a radioactive noble gas.
Yes, uranium is a radioactive metal.
Most metals are stable and thus not radioactive.
no it is not radioactive
