Yes radon and oganesson are radioactive. Generally everything heavier than lead is radioactive.

They’re all inert noble gasses until you get down to radon which is radioactive (second largest cause of lung cancer). Then you get to oganesson which is so violently radioactive that it doesn’t exist unless we make it exist.

And at a half-life of 0.7ms, even if made to exist, Oganesson really doesn’t do so willingly and will stop that at the first chance
