Most radioactive elements when kept in dark will glow to some extent.
Radium could be thought of the highest glowing radioactive element out of all.
Radioactive elements undergo spontaneous emission of either alpha, beta particles or gamma rays

What does it mean if an element it radioactive?
this is because an element is sometimes never radioactive but one may be made just to be radioactive this is because an element is sometimes never radioactive but one may be made just to be radioactive
Is radium more powerful then a radioactive element?
Your question is meaningless. Radium IS a radioactive element, and its power depends on the context. If you mean "is there an element more radioactive than radium" then yes, there are many, e.g. astatine.
What other solids can destroy einsteinium?
Einsteinium as a radioactive element has itself a radioactive decay.
What is a parent and daughter element?
Parent and daughter in chemistry refer to radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope of an element decays into another. For example, carbon-14 will beta-decay into nitrogen-14. The half-life associated with that particular process is about 5,700 years. The "parent" is carbon-14 and the "daughter" is nitrogen-14.
Do Elements become radioactive when the strong nuclear force overcomes the repulsive electrostatic force?
No. Radioactive elements are normally a result of the atom actually being an isotope of that element. An isotope is an atom of an element that has a different amount of neutrons than the norm. For example, the normal amount of neutrons in a Carbon atom is six, but Carbon-14 has eight, and Carbon-16 has ten. These isotopes are normally radioactive.
An example of a radioactive element is?
astatine♥
Is astatine an example of radioactive element?
Yes. There are no stable isotopes of astatine, they are all radioactive.
What element has all of their isotopes radioactive?
An example is uranium.
What characterizes a radioactive element?
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
Uranium is an example of what?
Uranium is an example of an actinde; also uranium is a solid metal, radioactive, a natural chemical element.
Is the element sodium radioactive or non-radioactive?
non radioactive element
How do you use radioactive element in a sentence?
A radioactive element is one that discharges radiation. Uranium is a radioactive element. A radioactive element is very dangerous if you don't have protective clothing. You should never go near a radioactive element.
Does a radioactive element become stable after its mass number become less than 82?
Not always -- Hydrogen-3 is radioactive, for example.
After the nucleus of a radioactive element undergoes changes the element can transform into what?
In nature, it can transform into another element that is stable. Example: carbon-14 into nitrogen-14.
Is the element silver radioactive?
No, it is not radioactive.
What element glows in the dark on hands on the clock?
Tritium is now used in luminous paints.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
