Question

What are radioactive elements ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.

Answer 2

$\sf \huge \underline{answer} \implies$

A radioactive element is a fundamental element whose atomic nuclei demonstrates the phenomenon of radioactivity. The name ‘radioactive’ may suggest to you that radioactive elements radiate radio waves, but unfortunately that is not so! The name ‘radioactivity’ is a misnomer because these elements have nothing to do with radio waves!
