An element that has an unstable nucleus and therefore emits alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation.
cool
no
I suppose you must mean uranium, it is slightly radioactive.
its nuclei can split apart
Radioactive Iodine
That the substance is dangerous & explosive.
Do you, perhaps, mean "radioactive"? Yes, radioactive materials can be hazardous. If you literally mean "radiant", i.e. glowing, that's not technically in itself a hazard.
It depends what you mean. The chemicals which are radioactive may react with yeast, but no because they are radioactive; merely because they are chemicals. The radiation can kill the yeast, but this is not "reacting".
If an element is radioactive, it refers to the stability of their atomic nucleus. If that atomic nucleus is not stable, it is considered radioactive.
The meaning of radioactive is: an unstable element which emit radiations as alpha, beta, gamma etc.
Radioactive Iodine Uptake
If you mean oxygen: like most elements, it has both stable isotopes, and unstable (i.e., radioactive) isotopes. 16O, 17O and 18O are stable; the unstable (radioactive) isotopes include 15O and 14O.
