Why does francium explode instantly?

Francium don't explode instantly; probably a confusion with the radioactive disintegration.


Do radioactive minerals explode?

Radioactive minerals do not explode in the conventional sense. Instead, they undergo radioactive decay, releasing energy in the form of radiation, which can lead to heat generation over time. In certain conditions, such as when combined with other elements or materials, they might contribute to explosive reactions, but the minerals themselves do not explode spontaneously. Safety measures are crucial when handling these materials due to their potential health risks rather than explosive properties.


Why non-radioactive substances became radioactive when placed near a radium compound?

The particles emitted by a radioactive substance can change other atoms, and in some cases, they will turn into radioactive isotopes.


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.
