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

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 not abundant. Earth crust: 4.10-19 kg radon/kg of rocks Sea water: 4.10-22 kg radon/L of water
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.
No. Radon is chemically inert.
Radon is released from rocks and then absorbed/dissolved in waters.
The groundwater contain more radon.
reactivity of water is a chemical property
Mean concentration of radon in air: 150 atoms/cm3 Radon in the earth crust: 4.10-16 mg/kg Radon in the sea water: 6.10-19 mg/L
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.
Other elements that would have properties similar to radon include other noble gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. These elements are all inert and have low reactivity due to their stable electron configurations. Like radon, they are all colorless, odorless, and tasteless gases at room temperature.
