Question

What is a radioisotope?

Answer 1

A version of a chemical element that has unstable nucleus and and emits radiation during its decay to a stable form.

Answer 2

Hello! :)

Radioisotope is an atom with an unstable nucleus that will go through radioactive decay. Each time a radioisotope goes through radioactive decay, it captures or releases particles to become an isotope of a different element. The process continues until a stable isotope is formed.

Hope this helps!
