What planets and celestial bodies seem to be radioactive?

Stars seem to be, but they don't have big and/or unstable atoms such as most radioactive elements have. They release sub atomic units when their atoms fuse, along with rays such as gamma rays, which is why they can seem to be similar to other radioactive things. Some planets with atmostpheres that are ionised by ionising rays can also be similar to radioactive things perhaps.


Elements whose atoms give off radiation are called?

Radioactive elements give off radiation. The emission of radiation occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus tries to become stable. Some examples of radioactive elements are radium, curium, nobelium, rubidium, and polonium.


Do all elements decay over time?

It is the unstable isotopes of elements that decay over time. All elements have an isotope or isotopes that are unstable and will decay over time. (These isotopes will be either naturally occurring or will be synthetic.) Some isotopes of some elements, however, are stable, and they will not undergo radioactive decay.To discover what's what, we have to do some homework, and what better place to start than the table of nuclides? It lists all the elemets, and all the isotopes of each element. Further, it tells us which ones are stable, which are unstable, and will also help us determine the decay mode of the unstable nuclides.


How Many Radioactive Elements Are Made in the Laboratory?

About 28 elements were discovered in the laboratory. But after the man made preparation some elements were discovered also in nature in very extremely traces: Pm, Tc, Pu, Np, Am, Cm, Bk.

Which group contains only radioactive elements?

The actinoids (formerly actinides) are all unstable metallic elements. The period 7 elements with atomic numbers from 89 (actinium, for which the group is named) through 103 comprise these elements. A link can be found below.


Are radioactive substances the last period of elements (at the bottom of the chart)?

Radioactive substances are not exclusive to the last period of elements on the periodic table, but many of the heaviest elements, particularly those in the actinide and transactinide series, are radioactive. These elements, found at the bottom of the periodic table, typically have unstable nuclei that decay over time. However, there are also radioactive isotopes of lighter elements scattered throughout the periodic table. Thus, while many radioactive elements are at the bottom, not all radioactive substances belong to this category.


What made up all radioactive elements?

After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.


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.


What period on the periodic table of elements contains radioactive elements and what are they called?

it was found in 1896. you can not find them on the periodic table. you may find some, but often some are.


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.


A property of all actinides is that they are all what?

Actinoids are: Th, Pa, U, Np, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Lr.
