The term radio active came from the dangerous elements like Plutonium, Uranium, Radium and Caesium. These elements produces extreme heat and radioactivity. When exposed to these elements, one may get cancer problems. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered Radium but due to constant exposure to the element, they died of cancer. Plutonium and Uranium are used to produce atomic energy.
