Generally, the smaller the nucleus, the less radioactive.

Atoms with stable nuclei are least likely to be radioactive. Typically, atoms with an even number of protons and neutrons are more stable and less likely to undergo radioactive decay. This includes elements such as carbon-12, oxygen-16, and nitrogen-14.
There is no specific atom that will always be radioactive. Any atom with an unstable nucleus can be radioactive, resulting in the emission of radiation. Isotopes of certain elements, such as uranium and plutonium, are more likely to be radioactive due to their relatively large atomic numbers.
Yes, the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms change at the same rate throughout the simulation because they are related by the radioactive decay process. As radioactive atoms decay, they transform into daughter atoms at a constant rate determined by the half-life of the radioactive isotope.
Isotopes with unstable nuclei are radioactive and can undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state. This decay process involves the release of radiation such as alpha or beta particles. The unstable isotopes are often used in various applications, including medicine and energy production.
Radioisotopes.
No, chloroform is not radioactive. It is a chemical compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. It is commonly used as a solvent and anesthetic.
