It may be possible to bombard Radium 15 with protons, creating Radium 16. Radium 16 has a fast decay rate. This would release large amounts of energy.

How can radium be effectively removed from drinking water?

Radium can be effectively removed from drinking water through processes like ion exchange, coagulation, and filtration. These methods help to trap and remove radium particles from the water, ensuring it is safe for consumption.


What is the charge of ra ion?

A Ra ion, or radium ion, typically carries a +2 charge when it forms ions, as it usually loses two electrons to achieve a more stable electronic configuration. This results in the Ra²⁺ ion, which is commonly found in various chemical compounds. Radium is an alkaline earth metal, and like other elements in this group, it tends to have a +2 oxidation state in its ionic form.


What are main types of propulsion?

The main types of propulsion include chemical propulsion (using fuel combustion), electric propulsion (using electric power to accelerate ions or plasma), and nuclear propulsion (using nuclear reactions to generate thrust). Each type has its own advantages and is suitable for different applications in space exploration and transportation.


How is radium separated from other materials found with it?

Radium is typically separated from other materials found with it using chemical processes, such as solvent extraction or ion exchange chromatography. These methods exploit the chemical properties of radium to selectively separate it from other elements. Once separated, radium can be further purified through methods such as precipitation or distillation.
