Basically, some atoms become unstable when there are too many or too few neutrons. As a result, such atoms will decay, eventually becoming something more stable.Not sure what you mean with "deal with this"; basically the atoms will decay eventually, no matter what.
No, some radioactive materials are not solids. Most radioactive materials are solids (uranium, plutonium, isotopes of many other materials) Some radioactive materials are gases (Radon) or isotopes of gases (Tritium, carbon fourteen, etc.)

In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.
Radioactive materials contain unstable atoms that decay and emit radiation, while non-radioactive materials do not emit radiation. Radioactive materials can be harmful to living organisms due to their ionizing radiation, whereas non-radioactive materials are generally considered safe for everyday use.
Hazard Class 7 is the class for radioactive materials.
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
Electrons. Electricity is composed of free electrons and some radioactive decays emit electrons (beta particles)
It is an area that is contaminated with radioactive materials.
Francium, Uranium, Thorium, Plutonium, Radium, Neptunium,
The term for implanting radioactive materials into tissues for treatment is called brachytherapy.
Yes, it is possible for water to become radioactive if it comes into contact with radioactive materials or is contaminated by radioactive substances.
