Uranium.
What an interesting question. The answer is however complex.It is possible to make small amounts of some radioactive elements or radioactive isotopes of some elements in a laboratory (usually involving a nuclear pile or an accelerator). For instance the element Plutonium is made this way.(Other radioactive elements are produced naturally by the radioactive decay of heavier radioactive elements)However, making a radioactive element or isotope from scratch requires the application of an enormous amount of energy. The place where all elements heavier than the element Iron (Fe - Atomic number 26) are made is in stellar explosions, the death of stars 8 or more times more massive than our Sun, called "supernovas".It is in supernova explosions that the radioactive elements are made.
Radium and polonium are radioactive natural chemical elements.
No. The Curies did not discover uranium. They discovered polonium and radium, of which polonium is more radioactive.

The Actinide series.
The Actinide series.
All of the actinides are radioactive, and almost all are synthetic.
There are a total of 15 actinides in the actinide series and each are chemical elements with metallic properties. All of the actinide elements are radioactive and upon radioactive decay they release energy.
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.
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.
Any of a series of chemically similar, radioactive elements with atomic numbers ranging from 89 (actinium) through 103 (lawrencium). they are outer transition elements All of these elements are radioactive, and two of the elements, uranium and plutonium, are used to generate nuclear energy
The elements with atomic numbers from 90 to 103 are called actinides. These elements are known for being radioactive and having partially filled 5f orbital. They include well-known elements like uranium, plutonium, and americium.
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.
No, trace elements are not necessarily radioactive. A link to a list of elements that have no natural radioactive isotopes is at a related question, below.
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.
