Some of the elements on the Periodic Table are Radioactive. This means that their nuclei decay to form other elements in a decay chain. There are currently 33 known radioactive elements of which 20 are currently produced synthetically.

How many invention did maria curie invent?
She discovered radioactivity and 2 elements, polonium and radium.
How does artificial transmutation differ from artificial radioactivity?
"Artificial transmutation" is a nuclear reaction induced in laboratory, its man made. Artificial radioactivity is a radioactive disintegration phenomenon supported by artificial isotopes.
Do all elements have some degree of radioactivity?
no not all of it and im a girl
The differences between natural and artificial radioactivity?
Natural radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial radioactivity will come through, elements produced within nuclear reactors as well as accelerators.
What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?
Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.

What is the opposite of radioactivity?
The opposite would be non-radioactive. For elements, the opposite is stable.
Which women was an important scientist who contributed to your understanding of elements and radioactivity?
Marie Curie
What hand held device can detect radioactivity in elements such as uranium?
A gamma radiometer.
Are radio active elements self substaining?
It depends on what you mean. If you mean, are they able to sustain radioactivity by themselves forever then, no. The radioactivity is a result of the breakdown of atoms in these elements into other atoms, fragments of atoms and various forms of energy. So when the supply of atoms capable of breaking down eliminates itself the radioactivity ceases.
How is radioactivity of elements used to determine the age of the earth?
It finds the half-life of rocks.
What notable women was an important scientist who contributed to your understanding of elements and radioactivity?
