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

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.


What are isotopes considered radioactive?

Not all isotopes are radioactive; the radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit radiations.


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.


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.
