Answer:
Radioactive isotopes may occur naturally or be artificially produced. Radioactive isotopes possess an unstable recipe of neutrons and protons. Radioactive isotopes stabilize themselves over time by shedding radioactive energy in a process called radioactive decay.

Answer:
In an unstable atom, the nucleus changes by giving off a neutron to get back to a balanced state. As the unstable nucleus changes, it gives off radiation and is said to be radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are often called radioisotopes. And yes, the isotopes of a radioactive element are radioactive.
example uranium's all isotopes are radioactive
