Radium is not a common commercial product; radium (generally as radium chloride solution) is sold only to hospitals or specialized and controlled research laboratories.
It is illegal to purchase or sell radium without the appropriate licenses due to its high radioactivity. Handling radium without proper training and safety measures can be extremely hazardous to health and the environment.
Polonium and radium are continuously studied, but not so much.
The atomic mass of the most common isotope of radium (226Ra) is: 226,025 409 8(25).
Polonium and radium's affect on our lives today are for example the meters on our cars, they glow because of the radium and also some wristwatches the light you get when you press the button on the side. Radium was discovered by a woman named Marie Cuire, she's married, but she obviously died because of too much radium.
This was the Nobel prize.

The first name was radium; some isotopes had in the past other names.
No plural for radium.
Radium primarily forms compounds with oxygen, such as radium oxide (RaO), radium peroxide (RaO2), and radium hydroxide (Ra(OH)2). It can also form compounds with other elements, such as radium chloride (RaCl2) and radium sulfate (RaSO4). These compounds are generally highly radioactive due to the nature of radium as a radioactive element.
