Today radium is not so important for practical applications:
- radium-beryllium neutron sources
- preparation of radon standard solutions
- possible use in radiotherapy for some cancers
Today radium has only some applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc.
You cannot make radium but you can extract it from uranium ore.
Radium was used in the past for the radiotherapy of some cancers; radiations can destroy malign tumors. But now radium was replaced by 60Co, 137Cs and many other radioactive isotopes.
how long does radium treatment take?
Radium is a chemical element, not a compound.
Radium is not a common commercial product.
Radium chloride, RaCl2, was the first radium compound to be prepared in a pure state and was the basis of Marie Curie's original separation of radium from barium. The first preparation of radium metal was by the electrolysis of a solution of radium chloride using a mercury cathode.
The first name was radium; some isotopes had in the past other names.
