Uranium is radioactive because its atomic structure is unstable, leading to the emission of particles and energy as it decays. This process is known as radioactive decay, which releases radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, as well as gamma rays.

What causes Uranium to be radioactive?

Uranium is radioactive because it is an unstable element with a nucleus that can undergo radioactive decay. During this decay process, uranium releases energy in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation as it transforms into other elements over time. This radioactive decay is what makes uranium useful for nuclear energy and weapons.
