Radon doesn't react with water but it is soluble in water.

radium radon reaction reactivity redox
Lithium is significantly more reactive than radon. As an alkali metal, lithium readily loses its outer electron to form positive ions, making it highly reactive, especially with water and oxygen. In contrast, radon is a noble gas with a complete valence shell, which makes it largely inert and unreactive under normal conditions. Thus, lithium's reactivity far exceeds that of radon.
Radon is an important problem for the atmosphere in the buildings not for the water. Radon from the water can be eliminated by boiling the water. Also because the most important isotope pf radon, 222Rn, has a half life of only 3,8235 days radon disappear after a period of time.
Radon is a gas, water is a liquid. Under the same conditions radon should be many hundreds of times less dense than water. Water's density at STP is about 1 000 kg/m3. Radon's density at STP is about 9.73g/m3. Thus, water is about 103 times denser than radon.
Radon is not abundant. Earth crust: 4.10-19 kg radon/kg of rocks Sea water: 4.10-22 kg radon/L of water
No. Radon is chemically inert.
Radon is released from rocks and then absorbed/dissolved in waters.
The groundwater contain more radon.
Radon (Rn) has a total of six electron orbits or energy levels. These correspond to the electron configuration of [Xe] 4f² 5d⁰ 6s² 6p⁶, indicating that its outermost shell, the sixth shell, is fully occupied. This arrangement is typical for noble gases, contributing to radon's stability and low reactivity.
reactivity of water is a chemical property
Radium is a highly reactive element that readily forms compounds with other elements, especially oxygen. It is known to react violently with water, releasing radium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Due to its high reactivity, radium is always found in nature in compounds, never in its pure form.
