Radioactive minerals are unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. They also have half lives and lose energy overtime. Nonradioactive minerals are stable, and by there own are incapable of emitting energy.
A non-radioactive element is an element that has at least 1 isotope that is not radioactive. The means that at least one isotope has a stable nucleus that does not break down by shooting off high-energy particles.
The parent isotope is the original radioactive isotope that undergoes decay to form the daughter isotope. The daughter isotope is the stable isotope that is formed as a result of the radioactive decay of the parent isotope.
hydrogen-1hydrogen-2carbon-12etc.
Before a radioactive atom ceases to undergo further radioactive decay, it must reach a stable configuration or decay into a non-radioactive isotope through the emission of particles or energy. This process continues until the atom reaches a state of stability where it no longer emits radiation.
If you had a stable element 115, then by definition there would need to be at least one non-radioactive isotope. Stable elements are those that have at least one nonradioactive isotope. Of course, the other isotopes of the element could all be radioactive.
Only the end product of the decay chain of uranium, a non radioactive isotope of lead.

Lead, the isotope Pb 206.
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
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 radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.

An isotope of a chemical element is an atom that has the same number of protons (this also means this atom has the same atomic number) and electrons, but has a different numbers on neutrons. The isotope is radioactive if it has too many neutrons in the nucleus and because of this the isotope is unstable. The half-life of a radioactive isotope is a time period. When the isotope is at the end of the period it's weight will be the half of the starter weight.
