Radium is modestly malleable if it is heated a bit. It will behave in a way similar to magnesium, which is a group 2 alkali earth metal like radium. But don't look for radium to be hammered or rolled into something. Radium is highly radioactive, and it isn't something that you want to be around, or to have around you. A link to the Wikipedia article on radium is provided. But there isn't a lot of information

Probably not, because the other members of the alkaline earth metals (Ca, Ba, Sr) are soft metals.
