  1. Which of the following is a radioactive element?
    1. Cobalt
    2. Uranium
    3. Argon
    4. Chromium
Correct Option: B

Uranium (U) is a naturally occurring radioactive element. Its nucleus is unstable, so the element is in a constant state of decay, seeking a more stable arrangement. One of its isotopes, uranium-235, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of sustaining a nuclear fission reaction.In fact, uranium was the element that made the discovery of radioactivity possible.
