Why only radioactive element give out radiation?
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
Give the name and symbol of any two radioactive elements?
name and give the symbol of 2 radio active elements
What group of elements on the periodic table give electrons?

What is the name of the energy that electrons give up?
negative energy.
What do elements give off when they are heated?
Electromagnetic radiation.
What are three of the natural sources that give off radiation?
- Radiation of cosmic origin- Radiation from radioactive elements (and decay products) of the Earth- Internal radiation of organisms
Elements whose atoms give off radiation are called?
Radioactive elements give off radiation. The emission of radiation occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus tries to become stable. Some examples of radioactive elements are radium, curium, nobelium, rubidium, and polonium.
To give out radiation?
To give out radiation is to radiate.
What is the ability of some elements to give off nuclear radiation due to the spontaneous split of nuclei into smaller particles called?
Radioactivity.
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
What radiation does a wii give of?
Electromagnetic radiation.

These are the elements: Precipitation, Temperature, Wind speed, Wind direction, Humidity, Air pressure, Cloud cover, Visibility and sunshine
Can radiation treatment for breast cancer cause leukaemia?
Yes, unfortunately it is true because the way in which some cancers are treated is with radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is a form of ionising radiation like x-rays, and as a result, when that ionising radiation goes through your body, it does damage cancer cells, and it tends to damage cancer cells more than healthy tissue because cancer cells are more vulnerable to damage because they don't have such good DNA repair mechanisms. But the point is, it can still damage healthy tissue.And so, in the course of dealing with one tumour, it can increase the risk - it doesn't necessarily give you cancer - but it can increase the risk of developing another type of cancer. Very often, bone can be targeted or bone marrow cells, and therefore, you can get secondary tumours developing later in life as a consequence of having been treated.But if you take certain chemotherapy drugs, they don't necessarily have that same risk. They're not ionising radiation, so it depends on the kind of treatment that you get.
