A radioactive atom is an atom that has an unstable nuclear force, and therefore either absorbs or emits a radioactive particle.
yes
The half-life
Radioactive atoms can be found throughout the periodic table. They can be naturally occurring elements like uranium and thorium, or they can be created synthetically in laboratories by bombarding stable atoms with particles.
No, not all atoms give off radiation. Only certain types of unstable atoms, known as radioactive atoms, undergo radioactive decay and emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Scientists refer to the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to change into daughter elements as the half-life of the radioactive substance.
yes
No
All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."
Yes. All of the actinides are radioactive.
The numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms may or may not change at the same rate throughout simulation when compared to each other. Atoms generally start out at a higher rate of speed, and decrease to a lower one.
The half-life
Atoms with stable nuclei are least likely to be radioactive. Typically, atoms with an even number of protons and neutrons are more stable and less likely to undergo radioactive decay. This includes elements such as carbon-12, oxygen-16, and nitrogen-14.
Radioactive atoms undergo spontaneous decay, emitting particles or energy in the form of radiation. This process transforms the atoms into different elements or isotopes, creating new elements that may also be radioactive. This decay continues until the atom reaches a stable state.

i got no idea
