true or false? the radioactive nature of a specific element does not change even if the element is chemically combined with another element in a compound

Answer: yes

Explanation:

even in combined state, radioactive elements continue to emit radiation spontaneously. For instance RaCl2 is still radioactive because of the radium content of the compound. This is applied positively in radionuclides used to study chemical reactions or uptake of certain elements in then body.
