Question:easy

Identify the series of elements so that all the elements in it are radioactive in nature.

Show Hint

Only one of the given series has every member with an unstable nucleus.
Updated On: Nov 12, 2026
  • Lanthanide
  • Actinoids
  • p block elements
  • Transition elements
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Eliminate the options
Lanthanide series: stable except Pm, so it cannot be the answer.
p block and transition elements: most members are stable.

Step 2: Remaining option
The 5f series, actinoids, has no stable isotope for any of its members.

Step 3: Conclusion
Hence the actinoids are the series in which all elements are radioactive.

Final Answer:
Only the actinoids have all members radioactive. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\text{Actinoids}} \]
