I don't think there is an element or compound with that name; you may want to check the spelling and ask again. If you mean "lutetium", it has both stable and unstable (i.e., radioactive) isotopes.

How do you know if a meteor is radioactive?

Meteors are typically not radioactive as they are composed of various elements and minerals found in space. However, if a meteorite were to contain radioactive materials, it would need to be tested using specialized equipment to detect radiation levels.


Is space junk radioactive?

Not all space junk is radioactive. Space debris can consist of defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, or fragments from previous space missions, which may or may not contain radioactive material depending on their original purpose. However, precautions are taken when handling or encountering space junk to ensure safety.


What are radioactive probes?

Radioactive probes are molecules that are labeled with a radioactive isotope, such as ^32P or ^35S, which emit radiation that can be detected. They are commonly used in molecular biology to detect specific DNA, RNA, or protein molecules by binding to complementary sequences and producing a signal that can be visualized.


Are moon rocks radioactive?

No. At least no more than any other rocks. Almost all materials contain some trace of radioactive material.


The age of the solar system can be established by radioactive dating of?

The age of the solar system can be established by radioactive dating of meteorites. Meteorites are remnants of the early solar system and contain radioactive isotopes that decay over time at a known rate. By measuring the ratios of these isotopes in meteorites, scientists can calculate the age of the solar system, which is approximately 4.6 billion years.
