All rare earth elements except promethium have at least one stable isotope.

Natural-abundance samples of lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, erbium, ytterbium, and lutetium are all technically "radioactive" in that they contain measurable amounts of radionuclides, but the half-lives of these nuclides are mostly in the hundreds of millions of years or longer (in some cases much longer).

What elements is radioactive and synthetic barrium cesium currium and xenon?

Curium {Note correct spelling} is only element in the list given that is radioactive and synthetic.^ not correct answer and not even spelled right the correct answer is "lawrencium"The rare earth elements are located at the bottom of the periodic table and are comprised of the lanthanoid series and the actinoid series.The actinoid series is the second row of rare earth elements. All of these elements are radioactive, and all of these elements (except actinium, thorium, protactinium, and uranium) are synthetic.


What are the radio active rare-earth metals located at the bottom of periodic table?

actinide: 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103 Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium


Is neodymium radioactive?

Neodymium is radioactive, though for most practical purposes it can be regarded as stable. 30.4% of neodymium is of two radioactive isotopes, but their half lives are very long, the shorter being 2,290,000,000,000,000 years. Like all other elements, neodymium has synthetic radioactive isotopes.


Which gas is not found in atmosphere?

All the noble gases are in the atmosphere.


All living things on earth are radioactive true or false?

False. Not all living things on Earth are radioactive. Radioactivity is a natural process that can be found in some elements and materials, but it does not apply to all living organisms.

Radioactive elements comprise a majority?

Radioactive elements make up a small fraction of all naturally occurring elements in Earth's crust. Most elements are stable and non-radioactive. However, even though they are a minority, radioactive elements play important roles in various scientific, medical, and industrial applications.

What made up all radioactive elements?

After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.


Can all elements be stable?

All radioactive elements are unstable. Most isotopes of elements in periodic table are radioactive. Overall, most of the elements are unstable but they are present in traces on earth. Most elements on earth are stable.

Are all transition elements are radioactive?

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.


How many valance electrons do rare earth metals have?

16.546 valence electrons are located in all rare earth elements.


What does this mean- Most of the rare earth elements are considered to be synthetic?

This means that most rare earth elements are not found in nature in pure form but are instead produced through artificial processes. These synthetic rare earth elements are created through methods such as chemical reactions, nuclear processes, or extraction from mineral ores.


What families have no radioactive elements?
