Normal hydrogen is stable.Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) is also stable, but only about one hydrogen atom in a million is deuterium.

Hydrogen-3 (tritium) is radioactive, and exceedingly rare. There are trace amounts of tritium on Earth (far, far less than deuterium) due to the interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere, particularly with nitrogen.

What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?

The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.

What is the name of the time required to change a part of a radioactive element to a stable element?

The name for the time required for half of a radioactive element to decay into a stable element is called the half-life. It is a constant value unique to each radioactive isotope, and it is used to measure the rate of radioactive decay.


Is the element thulium radioactive or non-radioactive?

Thulium is a non-radioactive element. It is part of the lanthanide series on the periodic table and has no stable isotopes that are radioactive. Thulium-169, the most common isotope, is stable and does not undergo radioactive decay. Therefore, thulium is considered non-radioactive.
