A radioactive element is the element which radiates continuously giving alpha, beta, and gamma rays. The elements having atomic no. more than 82 are mostly considered as radioactive elements. These elements emit radiations by themselves even if if they are not get touched. They are discovered by Maria Curie and Pierre Curie in 1907
A radioactive element is an element subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus accompanied by the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive. Naturally occurring radioactive elements include radium, thorium, and uranium. Several radioactive elements not found in nature have been produced by the bombardment of stable elements with subatomic particles in a cyclotron. (The Free Dictionary.com)
A radioactive element is an element with an unstable nucleus, which radiates alpha, beta or gamma radiation and gets converted to a stable element
radioactive isotopes are isotopes with irregular nuclear composition, it emits energy due to decay of atomic nucleus.
Now are known 118 elements, stable or radioactive; in the future only radioactive elements will be possible to be prepared.
radon, radium and uranium
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
Yes; some of the naturally occurring isotopes of the heaviest elements are radioactive.
all elements after uranium (atomic number 92) are radioactive.
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
sure, but all will be radioactive with short halflives.
Studying residues of uranium ores, Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
Yes. Stable elements are 83 elements. all elements above that of atomic number 83 (Bismuth) are radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are of the order of 1500 radioactive isotope.
No, trace elements are not necessarily radioactive. A link to a list of elements that have no natural radioactive isotopes is at a related question, below.
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
Not all of the transition elements are radioactive. Many of them are, and some of them have common radioactive isotopes, but some of them have no naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. Please note that all elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, at least.

Answerelements with a nonstable isotope or at least one naturally occurring isotope that is radioactive. AnswerAll elements have radioactive isotopes.There are a lot of radioactive elements: Technetium, Promethium, Polonium, Astatine, Radon, Francium...Here is the whole list: http://periodictable.com/Elements/Radioactive
