All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.

AnswerThere are actually quite a few radioactive elements. As a rule, everything with an Atomic Mass greater than lead is radioactive. Isotopes of lighter elements can also be radioactive. AnswerAll elements have radioactive isotopes. Many of these are found in nature. Potassium-40 is particularly common.

All elements after element number 83 (bismuth) have only radioactive isotopes. The only two lighter elements that have this property are element 43 (technetium), and element 61 (promethium).

*Bismuth-209 is technically radioactive, but with a half-life of 20 billion billion years (2 x 1019 yrs).
