No, it does not. The longest lived isotope, plutonium-244, has a half life of 80,800,000 years.

What is the non radioactive isotope of promethium?

All the isotopes of promethium are radioactive.


Why is plutonium radioactive?

No it does not. There are various types (isotopes) of plutonium. Plutonium 238, the weapons grade material, has a half life of 88 years. Meaning after 88 years half of the material has transforms into another element through radioactive decay. Plutonium-240 has a half life of ~80 Million years. But eventually all types of plutonium will decay into other elements. All radioactive elements will eventually decay into non-radioactive atoms given enough time.


If you had a stable element 115 could you then have an isotope of it that would be non-radioactive?

If you had a stable element 115, then by definition there would need to be at least one non-radioactive isotope. Stable elements are those that have at least one nonradioactive isotope. Of course, the other isotopes of the element could all be radioactive.


What is a deuterium example of?

Deuterium is an example of natural, non-radioactive isotope; deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron.


Is carbon an stable element?

Carbon is non-radioactive excepting the isotope carbon-14.


Can scientist use the isotope c-14 to date granite?

Yes because they look at the ammount of radioactive decay and they can determine the age of the granite. As the radioactive isotope decreases the non radioactive element increases. The less radioactive decay ammount there is the older it is.


What is the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive isotope?

Radioactive minerals are unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. They also have half lives and lose energy overtime. Nonradioactive minerals are stable, and by there own are incapable of emitting energy.


Is Plutonium dangerous?

For practical purposes, platinum can be regarded as not radioactive. Of naturally occurring platinum, 99.886% is considered stable, and the one radioactive isotope 190Pt, has a half life 650,000,000,000 years. Like all elements, platinum has synthetic radioactive isotopes.


Does a radioisotope of gold occur naturally?

No, gold has only one naturally occurring isotope and it is non-radioactive.


What is half-life of the isotope k-39?

1939K is stable and non-radioactive. It, therefore, has no half-life.


What is the decay element of uranium?

It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.


What element is nonradioactive in the chain decay of uranium?

Only the end product of the decay chain of uranium, a non radioactive isotope of lead.
