As a prefix, "radio" means "related to radiant energy." Thus, an element that is actively giving off radiant energy is radio-active.
The compositionn of a rock containing a radioactive element changes over time by: decaying and changing into another element; the amount of the radio active element goes down, but the amount of the new element goes up.
There are a lot more than 2 radio active isotopes... To answer this question a naturally or created radioactive element needs to be mentioned.
There are many radio active elements which decay into lighter elements and give off charged particles in the process. The best place to find this voluminous information is in a 'Table of the Nuclides'.
no
The first period is at the top of the table. It consists of hydrogen and helium. The bottom period is period 7.
An undiscovered element would not be in the periodic table. However new elements are now created, usually by bombardment of radioactivity all new elements created this way are also radio-active. There is a theory there may be an "island of stability" at around an atomic weight of 150.
The element with 96 electrons is curium
Radio active isotopes are unstable isotopes of an element as there neutron number degenerate by emission of light or medium.
Uranium is a radio active metal element. Atomic mass of it is 239.
The gaseous element "radon".
The Group 1 metal 'Francium;. because it is radio-active, and you don;t want radio-active material splashing everywhere.
The element with chemical symbol Np is Neptunium. Neptunium is a radioactive Lanthanide and is part of the unofficial Promethium family. It has 93 electrons in 7 shells and is next to Uranium and Plutonium.
radio active element use in medicines thats a good question
Polonium is a radio-active trans-uranic element. It is a metal.
The element lawrencium, atomic number 103 with the chemical symbol Lr, is named in honor of Ernest Lawrence, who developed the first cyclotron for the study of nuclear particles.(see the related links below)
Curium is an artificial chemical element, metal, solid, radioactive.
