No not all isotopes are radioactive, However there certainly are several elements which have no stable isotopes.
these are the man made elements also known as "Not found in nature". such as:
Tc - Technetium (43)
Pm - Promethium (61)
Np - Neptunium (93)
Pu - Plutonium (94)
Am - Americum (95)
Cm - Curium (96)
Bk - Berkelium (97)
Cf - Californium (98)
Es - Einsteinium (99)
Fm - Fermium (100)
No.
No, not all isotopes are radioactive. Only atoms that are unstable (carbon-14, etc.) are radioactive
Isotopes can be either radioactive or non-radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are unstable and undergo decay, emitting radiation in the process. Non-radioactive isotopes are stable and do not emit radiation.
No not necesserily. because isotopes are of two types
# Ionic # non-ionic Mainly the ionic isotopes are radioactive. Some non-ionic are also radioactive but not all.
No, an isotope just means it's a variation on an element, it has a slightly different number of neutrons in its atomic structure, it doesnt make it radioactive.
Yes, by definition all radioactive isotopes have unstable nuclei. This causes them to decay in an attempt to reach a stable state.
Some isotopes are radioactive; other isotopes are nonradioactive.

What is the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive isotope?
Radioactive minerals are unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. They also have half lives and lose energy overtime. Nonradioactive minerals are stable, and by there own are incapable of emitting energy.
What happens to all radioactive isotopes?
All radioactive isotopes will disintegrate.
Why nonradioactive substances becomes radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
This phenomenon is not mandatory.
What are Radioactive isotopes used for?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
Does Barium have isotopes that are all radioactive?
No, Barium has both stable and radioactive isotopes. Out of its 25 known isotopes, only 6 of them are considered radioactive. The most stable isotope of Barium is Barium-138, which is not radioactive.
How are isotopes used in carbon dating?
The ratio of carbon-14 (radioactive) to carbon-12 (nonradioactive) is measured.
Why can radioactive isotopes be followed through a chemical reaction?
They emit radiation that can be detected with various radiation measurement tools. Usually the isotopes will be in only one of the products of the chemical reaction, making it radioactive and the others nonradioactive.
Do isotopes exhibit the same chemical atomic properties yes or no?
No, there are differences in chemical properties of different isotopes of the same element. For instance, certain isotopes will be radioactive while other isotopes will be stable and nonradioactive. Also, the different isotopes of hydrogen are significantly different depending on the number of neutrons present.
What is the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive isotope?
Radioactive minerals are unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. They also have half lives and lose energy overtime. Nonradioactive minerals are stable, and by there own are incapable of emitting energy.
Create a list of element names for the 10 non radioactive gaseous elements?
Hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, xenon, and krypton are all gasses are usually found in nonradioactive isotopes. Hydrogen, chlorine, argon, and krypton have at least traces of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes, however.
What are isotopes considered radioactive?
Not all isotopes are radioactive; the radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit radiations.
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
Does sodium contain radioactive isotopes?
Sodium has no radioactive isotopes.
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
Is americium a stable nonradioactive element?
No, americium is an unstable and radioactive chemical element.
Does plutonium have isotopes that are all radioactive?
All the uranium isotopes are radioactive.
What happens to all radioactive isotopes?
All radioactive isotopes will disintegrate.
