Are synthetic elements radioactive?

Synthetic elements are usually radioactive, but not necessarily so. It is conceivable for a non-radioactive neutral atom to be produced by a nuclear spallation reaction.

Can a substance be radioactive without a nuclear reaction taking place?

Yes, it is possible; disintegration is not considered a nuclear reaction.


How do the waste products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fission reaction?

Most (but not all) fusion products are non-radioactive. Virtually all fission products are strongly radioactive beta or gamma emitters.


Why can radioactive isotopes be followed through a chemical reaction?

They emit radiation that can be detected with various radiation measurement tools. Usually the isotopes will be in only one of the products of the chemical reaction, making it radioactive and the others nonradioactive.
