Only certain isotopes
Answer
Yes, roentgenium is radioactive. This is because it is a transuranic element, which means that it has an atomic number greater than 92. Transuranic elements are all radioactive, because they are unstable and decay over time. The decay of roentgenium produces several different isotopes of other elements, including gold, silver, and platinum.
