Isotopes means nothing but they have same atomic number but different mass number that means they have same number of protons but they don't have same number of neutrons as that of protons.So because of existing extra neutrons only isotopes are existing.

Is oxygen radioadive?

Some oxygen isotopes are radioactive, but they do not occur naturally.


Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?

No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.


Why are most elements radioactive?

Most of the natural occurring (isotopes of) elements are NOT radioactive.Though most of all the known isotopes are radioactive but most of them do NOT naturally occur.


Can nuclear decay occur in atoms of oxygen?

It sure can; basically, each element has radioactive isotopes. Check the Wikipedia article "isotopes of oxygen" for more details.

Which of these are elements that occur the most in nature isotopes quarks leptons?

Isotopes occur the most in nature. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Quarks and leptons are elementary particles that make up matter, but they are not commonly found in nature in their isolated form.

When does Parent and daughter isotopes occur?

The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
