Yes, there is. In fact, there are several lists. See, the thing is that some elements are radioactive "across the board" like uranium is. All of the different isotopes of uranium are radioactive. But some elements have several isotopes that are stable, and some that are radioactive, or a "mixed bag" if you will. Just getting a "list" per se might be a mess. How are you going to list all those radioactive isotopes of all those elements? Well, there's good news. The table of nuclides (or table of radionuclides) has all the elements and all their isotopes. It's a pretty good sized table, to be sure, but it's been around and is available on the web in a number of places. One is from the Brookhaven National Laboratory's site for the National Nuclear Data Center. A link is provided to that one. Note that each little "square" on the chart is "active" and clicking on it pulls up the data on that isotope, whatever it is. There are other tools for use to extract data from the chart. Short cut If you just want to know which elements have no stable isotopes and which, therefore, are radioactive in any form, they include 43technetium and 61promethium, and all elements above 83bismuth. Simple and easy.

∙ 14y agoActually you would have to list by isotopes - the same element can have different isotopes, some more stable than others. You can find a table here:

What elements is radioactive and synthetic barrium cesium currium and xenon?
Curium {Note correct spelling} is only element in the list given that is radioactive and synthetic.^ not correct answer and not even spelled right the correct answer is "lawrencium"The rare earth elements are located at the bottom of the periodic table and are comprised of the lanthanoid series and the actinoid series.The actinoid series is the second row of rare earth elements. All of these elements are radioactive, and all of these elements (except actinium, thorium, protactinium, and uranium) are synthetic.
What 3 families contain no radioactive elements?
All periodic table groups contain elements with radioactive isotopes.
Which group contains only radioactive elements?
The group that contains only radioactive elements is the actinide series, which includes elements 89 to 103 on the periodic table. These elements are all radioactive due to their unstable atomic nuclei.
What are radioactive elements on the periodic table?
Some examples of radioactive elements on the periodic table include uranium, thorium, radium, and plutonium. These elements have unstable atomic nuclei that decay over time, emitting radiation in the process.
Elements after which element are radioactive?
The atoms that are radioactive are those with unstable nuclei. There is no easy way to tell which is which, so the isotope has to be looked up. All elements have at least some radioactive isotopes. There are 36 elements for which all radioactive isotopes are synthetic or fission products, so for practical purposes, there are no radioactive isotopes of them in nature, except where introduced by human activity. They include most of the common elements we find in nature, but not all. There are 44 elements that are found as stable isotopes, but at least traces of radioactive isotopes are found in nature. Among these are hydrogen, carbon, sodium, silicon, chlorine, and potassium, all of which are necessary for life. Radioactive potassium, in particular, is present as 0.012% of all potassium. For another group of elements, including technetium, promethium, and all with atomic numbers of 83 (bismuth) or more, there is no isotope that is stable.
Do trace elements have to be radioactive?
No, trace elements are not necessarily radioactive. A link to a list of elements that have no natural radioactive isotopes is at a related question, below.
What elements are radioactive?
Answerelements with a nonstable isotope or at least one naturally occurring isotope that is radioactive. AnswerAll elements have radioactive isotopes.There are a lot of radioactive elements: Technetium, Promethium, Polonium, Astatine, Radon, Francium...Here is the whole list: http://periodictable.com/Elements/Radioactive
List of radioactive elements?
Some common radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, radium, polonium, and plutonium. These elements emit radiation as they undergo radioactive decay, which can pose health risks if exposed to humans.
What are the eight different radioactive elements?
Huh? Every element can potentially be radioactive.Here is a list of all of the naturally occurring (above trace levels) radioactive elements:bismuthpoloniumastatineradonfranciumradiumactiniumthoriumprotactiniumuranium
Radioactive elements comprise a majority?
Radioactive elements make up a small fraction of all naturally occurring elements in Earth's crust. Most elements are stable and non-radioactive. However, even though they are a minority, radioactive elements play important roles in various scientific, medical, and industrial applications.
What is the slow breakdown of radioactive substances into more stable elements?
Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.
What made up all radioactive elements?
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
Are all transition elements are radioactive?
Not all of the transition elements are radioactive. Many of them are, and some of them have common radioactive isotopes, but some of them have no naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. Please note that all elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, at least.
The pressure and heat that produces magma are caused in part by?
Radioactive elements
What families have no radioactive elements?
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
What element family have no radioactive elements?
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
Can one element change into a different element?
Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.
