Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc.
Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers.
Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous.

Radium-223 chloride (Xofigo) is a radioactive drug used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. It works by delivering targeted radiation directly to bone metastases, which helps reduce pain and improve overall survival in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Radium-223 can help improve quality of life by reducing bone pain and delaying the progression of the disease.

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.
