Radioactivity occurs in atoms with unstable nuclei, resulting in pieces breaking off, changing the atom into a different one and releasing radiation. Radiation can also be released when an atom is "smashed", having some form of radiation hit it, which breaks the atom and releases more radiation. This is how nuclear bombs and power plants work.

How do you use radioactive as an adjective in a sentence?

What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
What do you call something that is radioactive?
Something that is radioactive is called a radionuclide.
What are isotopes considered radioactive?
Not all isotopes are radioactive; the radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit radiations.
Is lead radioactive?
Yes, lead is a stable element and is not considered radioactive.
What is a colourless radioactive gas considered to be a health hazard?
Radon is a colorless radioactive gas considered to be a health hazard.
Why is uranium considered radioactive?
Uranium is considered a radioactive chemical element because uranium (all the isotopes) is unstable and emit nuclear radiations.
Lead is considered as which pollutant?
Radioactive pollutants
What are the requirements for something to be radioactive?
For an object to be considered radioactive, it must contain unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation in the process. Common radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and radium. The level of radioactivity is measured by the rate at which the atoms decay, typically expressed in units such as becquerels or curies.
Were can you find a radioactive spider?
There are no radioactive spiders. This is something from a movie, and has never happened. There is no way to find images of radioactive spiders.

Is rabbit feces radioactive?
No. There is no reason why rabbit feces should be radioactive, unless of course they ate something radioactive or they are under medical care using radioactive isotopes. It might be possible that if the soil is radioactive, and the plants become radioactive, that a rabbit might excrete radioactive feces from eating the plants.
What does it mean if an element is radioacitive?
If an element is radioactive, it refers to the stability of their atomic nucleus. If that atomic nucleus is not stable, it is considered radioactive.
