Is an radioactive metal gold

Answer 1

To some extent most elements are radioactive whenever there is a possibility of an unstable isotope. However, generally speaking, gold is not considered to be radioactive. Having said that, radioactive gold can be made.

Answer 2

No it doesn't have any impact on a radio wave. Gold and radio waves are COMPLETELY different things and have no affect on each other.

Another answer:

Yes. Gold is a conductive metal, so it behaves the same way as any other conductor in the presence of radio waves. The electromagnetic field causes tiny currents in the conductor. So, gold could be used as an antenna or as shielding from radio waves; it would work just as well as aluminum or copper. In practice, of course, gold is rarely used, because good antennas and shielding can be made from much less-expensive materials.

Answer 3

Gold does have radioactive nuclides. Au199 has a decay half life of 3.14 days for example. And many other nuclides, but don't worry.

Answer 4

All naturally occurring gold is 197Au, which is not radioactive. There are also 36 radioactive synthetic isotopes of gold, all of which decay.

Answer 5

The natural gold is monoisotopic and non-radioactive.

Answer 6

No, gold is not a radioactive metal. It is a stable element with atomic number 79 and is not radioactive.
