What does radium cure?
Radium was used in the past as a radioactive source in the radiotherapy of some cancers.
What is radium in?
In the past radium was used for the radiotherapy of some cancers or as a component of luminescent paintings. Now radium has very limited uses: source of neutrons as Ra-Be, source of radon, research laboratories.
What are the uses of the radium?
Today radium hasn't many important uses: - radium-beryllium neutrons sources - radium solutions as radon source and standards - possible use in the radiotherapy of some cancers
Is radium an polonium source of energy?
Polonium was used as source of energy in thermoelectric generators.
What was the alpha source in Rutherford scattering lab?
As alpha source E. Rutherford used radium.
Radium is one of the alkaline earth metals -However its only natural source is uranium-why?
Because radium is a decay product of uranium or thorium.
Why are radium aand polonium important?
Polonium applications: - neutron source (polonium-beryllium source) - in devices for the elimination of the static electricity - in devices for the elimination of the dust - initiator in nuclear weapons - isotopic heat source Radium has not today practical applications.
Which country was radium discovered in?
The Curie couple brought the source (pitchblende) from North Bohemia
Is radium and polonium source of energy?
Polonium is used in radioisotope thermoelectric energy sources.
What was radium ond polium used for?
Radium: treatment by radiotherapy of some cancers, luminescent paintings for dials, neutron source as Ra-Be, uses in research laboratoryPolonium: radioactive heat source, neutron source as Po-Be, devices to eliminate dust and static elecrtricity, neutron trigger in nuclear weapons, uses in research laboratory
What can you combine radium with?
Radium is most commonly combined with beryllium, to create a neutron source for various applications such as in neutron radiography and in some types of cancer treatment. Combining radium with other elements can be dangerous due to its highly radioactive nature.
What events shaped or changed Marie curie?
Marie and Pierre Curie were co-discoverers of radium. Over the years they worked unprotected with pitch-blend (the source of radium), and she eventually developed cancer.
