∙ 12y agoUranium is a radiactive chemical element, not a radiation; but uranium isotopes emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, beta radiations and spontaneous fission neutrons.

∙ 12y agoYes, uranium emit alpha and gamma radiations, also spontaneous fission neutrons.

Why only radioactive element give out radiation?
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
What is luminous source?
A body that can give off electromagnetic radiation (light) such as the Sun, a lightbulb, etc.
How much heat does methanol give off?
2 pounds
Which type of hazardous waste gives off radiation?
Radioactive
What gas do Alka Seltzer tablets give off?
They give off carbon dioxide.
As uranium gives off radiation it is said to?
Uranium is a natural, radioactive chemical element.
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
What is made when Uranium-238 gives off an alpha particle?
radiation
What were the rays given off by uranium called?
If it is a radioactive isotope of uranium, then it would be radiation waves, specifically gamma waves.
Does any electronic give off radiation and how much?
There are many electronic devices in the world that do in fact give off radiation. These devices include computers and microwaves for example.
How much radiation does a computer transformer give off?
none. They are safe.
Gamma ray sources of the radiation?
Various radioactive substances such as Plutonium and Uranium give off a combination of alpha, beta and gamma rays as the isotope decays.
What particle is given off during the change from protactinium to uranium?
Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.
How much radiation does a strike of lightning give off?
Radiation of lightning, X-ray, can have energy exceeding 20MeV.
What gives off electromagnetic radiation?
Many things give off electromagnetic radiation. Cell phones, the body, x-rays, and supposedly ghosts and spirits. EMF detectors (or electro-magnetic-field detector) are also supposed to pick up electromagnetic radiation given off by anything it's pointed at.
Does iPhone4 give off radiation?
All cell phones give off varying degrees of radiation.
Does kryptonite give off gas or radiation?
Radiation
