The answer is Radium
Artificial transuranics aside (some habe half-lives of 2.4 seconds) Five seconds-out! The only naturally occurring element to have become extinct in nature was Didymium, element No. 96. More prosaically it was reclassified as two separate elements Neodymium and Praseodymium, both (Rare Earths) Dysprosioum
There have only been about 100 atoms of Hassium created, and the half life of the element is extremely short- so we do not know for sure. It is radioactive, and we expect it to act like other heavy metals, which are toxic.
An artificially produced radioactive element with atomic number 106 that has only been produced in trace amounts. The isotope with mass number 266 has the longest confirmed half-life (21 seconds), although heavier isotopes with longer half-lives have been reported.
278Mt is the most stable isotope and only has a half life of 8s!
Bismuth has recently been found to have a no stable isotope and has a half-life of 4.6 x 10^19 years. Also, the simple hydrogen atom (a single proton), is theorized to decay at a rate of 6.6 x 10^33 years. So far all tests to observe a proton decay have failed.
The answer is Radium
Technetium-97 has the shortest half-life of any naturally occurring element, with a half-life of about 4.2 million years. Artificially produced elements typically have even shorter half-lives, with some lasting only fractions of a second.

Element 112, also known as copernicium, is a highly unstable synthetic element. It is so unstable that it rapidly decays into other elements within milliseconds. It does not exist in nature and can only be created in a laboratory.
It is an artificially produced radioactive element with atomic number 106 that has only been produced in trace amounts. The isotope with mass number 266 has the longest confirmed half-life (21 seconds), although heavier isotopes with longer half-lives have been reported.
Arsenic (in the form of arsenic-75) is a stable element. Only its isotopes have a half-life. As there are many isotopes of every element, and each has a different half life, it is difficult to specify a precise answer. The related link below contains a list of known isotopes and their half lives.
It's not really USED for anything. It's a synthetic and radioactive element whose most stable isotope has a half-life of 61 seconds.
There have only been about 100 atoms of Hassium created, and the half life of the element is extremely short- so we do not know for sure. It is radioactive, and we expect it to act like other heavy metals, which are toxic.
That depends on the "half-life" of that particular radioactive element, which the question forgot to state. They're all different. Various radioactive elements have half-lives ranging from microseconds to millions of years.
Bohrium is extremely unstable - the most stable isotope (270Bh) has a half life of only 61 seconds.
An artificially produced radioactive element with atomic number 106 that has only been produced in trace amounts. The isotope with mass number 266 has the longest confirmed half-life (21 seconds), although heavier isotopes with longer half-lives have been reported.
278Mt is the most stable isotope and only has a half life of 8s!
