Radium is luminescent, with a blue colour.
What else can I help you with?
How does radium look in nature?
Radium glows in the dark and is in glow bands
Is radium the only glow-in-the-dark element?
no
What does Radium and oxygen make?
Oxygen (air) turns Radium black. Radium-Bromide makes air glow green like neon.
Why radium paint consisting of zinc sulphide and trace of radium salt glow in the dark?

Why do luminous objects glow in the dark?
They disperse.
How common is radium?
Very. It appears in many glow-in-the-dark watches.
What did the use on old watches to make them glow in the dark?
Old watches used radium-based paint to make them glow in the dark. The radium emitted a faint glow, making the watch dials visible in low light conditions. However, the use of radium was later discontinued due to its radioactive properties.
How do glow-in-the-dark watches work?
Due to radium which is element in periodic table.
A imformative poem about radium?
Radium, element of glow, Piercing rays that ebb and flow. Curie's discovery, mysterious and bright, Unveiling secrets, unlocking night.
Why are radioactive things colored green in movies?
Severe misunderstanding.Early radium dial watches and instruments glowed green where the "radium" paint had been applied. People assumed that was the radium glow. Actually radium does not glow at all, what gave the green glow was a phosphor (not phosphorus that is an element that burns easily, phosphors are compounds that glow when "excited" - the brightest and cheapest phosphors glow green) excited by the radiation emitted by the radium.The X-ray Fluoroscope used a phosphor screen that glowed green when excited by the X-rays.So people then assumed anything radioactive glowed green. (I almost wish, but humans have no sense that can detect radioactivity.)Hope that helps.
What radioactive element is used in luminous paints?
Radium is the radioactive element commonly used in luminous paints to produce a glow-in-the-dark effect. The decay of radium releases energy in the form of light, making the paint glow without needing an external light source. Due to its radioactivity, caution should be taken when handling materials containing radium.
What radioactive element was once used as a glow-in-the-dark paint?
Radium was the radioactive element used in glow-in-the-dark paint in the early 20th century. Its radioactive properties caused the paint to glow, but it was later discovered to be hazardous to health and discontinued for such use.
