1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable !
2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
"Daughter isotopes" are called the decay products of an radioactive isotope.
The process where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope is called radioactive decay. During this process, the parent isotope undergoes a series of transformations, such as alpha or beta decay, emitting particles or energy until it reaches a stable state as a daughter isotope.
It's called "half life".
halflife
In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to the radioactive decay of different discrete radioactive decay products as a chained series of transformations. Most radioactive elements do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a series of decays until eventually a stable isotope is reached.Decay stages are referred to by their relationship to previous or subsequent stages. A parent isotope is one that undergoes decay to form a daughter isotope. The daughter isotope may be stable or it may decay to form a daughter isotope of its own. The daughter of a daughter isotope is sometimes called a granddaughter isotope.
"Daughter isotopes" are called the decay products of an radioactive isotope.
The stable isotope formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope is called a daughter isotope. This process is known as radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope transforms into a stable daughter isotope through the emission of particles or energy.
The stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called a daughter isotope.
The term for the element that a radioactive isotope decays into is called the "daughter product". During radioactive decay, the original isotope transforms into a different element or isotope through a series of decay reactions.

Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
Radio active parent elements decay to stable daughter elements i.e. the radio active parent Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 Each radioactive isotope has it's own half life A half life is the time it takes for the parent radioactive element to decay to a daughter product, Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 with a half life of 1 1/4 billion years. Therin lies the problem of storing nuclear waste
