The heaviest natural radioactive element is Uranium.
Man made elements are continuously being made. The latest heaviest superheavyweight man made element to be discovered is element 117 (it is still so new that it hasn't been given a name yet).
A little different bit of information about Fermium, a team has captured a piece of its spectrum-the wavelengths of light it absorbs-making it the heaviest element ever to be so measured. It was made in the 1952 detonation of the first thermonuclear bomb. It does not make it as the heaviest element, just the heaviest to have it's light spectrum captured.
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
A radioactive element is one that discharges radiation. Uranium is a radioactive element. A radioactive element is very dangerous if you don't have protective clothing. You should never go near a radioactive element.
No, it is not radioactive.
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'.
Francium (Fr) is a natural radioactive element, extremely rare.
The heaviest element that is highly radioactive is Ununoctium, which has an atomic number of 118.
Bismuth (Bi) is the heaviest nonradioactive element but the next heaviest is Lead (Pb) and that is much more commonly used. The heaviest element that is naturally occurring, and also usable, though radioactive, is Uranium (U).
The heaviest stable element is bismuth, atomic number 83, atomic weight 208.9804). Any heavier element is radioactive, which means it decays into lighter elements - uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring element, will eventually decay into lead-207.
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
1. Uranium is the heaviest natural chemical element. 2. Uranium is radioactive 3. Uranium isotope U-235 is fissile
Mercury is the heaviest element at a liquid state.
The lightest gaseous element is hydrogen, with a density around 7% that of air; The heaviest is radon, with a density of around 8.5 times that of air.Radon is radioactive, and relatively short lived; the heaviest stable element is xenon, with a density around 4.5 times that of air.
The heaviest element in the periodic table (known in March 2013) is ununoctium.
non radioactive element
A radioactive element is one that discharges radiation. Uranium is a radioactive element. A radioactive element is very dangerous if you don't have protective clothing. You should never go near a radioactive element.
The 85th element on the Periodic Table of Elements is astatine (At). It is a highly radioactive element and the heaviest known halogen. Astatine is rare and is primarily produced as a result of decay processes in uranium ores.
1. astatine is a halogen that is radioactive.
