The correct answer is:
**They can be detected by their radioactivity, and their chemical behavior is similar to that of nonradioactive isotopes of the same element.**
This characteristic allows radioactive isotopes to be used in various practical applications, such as medical imaging and treatment, radiocarbon dating, and in tracer studies, while still participating in chemical reactions in ways that reflect their nonradioactive counterparts.
