Answer: The answer is YES.

Explanation: Isotopic substitution is the kind of substitution in which the present active species is replaced by its isotope in order to check the reactivity of the given species.

Radioactive substitution is also the same kind of substitution in which the active species is replaced by its radioactive isotope.

Thus, in cesium chloride when radioactive cesium is reacted with the chlorine, then the product formed cesium chloride is expected to be radioactive because radioactivity or isotopic substitution has nothing to do with the bonding. Only outermost electrons of the cesium has been transferred from cesium to chlorine , and its nucleus has not been affected in the same process.
