What is An unstable isotope is called what?
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What terms best describes the nucleus of a radioactive element?
unstable
Is roentgenium dangerous?
As a radioactive and unstable element roentgenium can be dangerous.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.

What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
