Yes. Radium is a highly radioactive alkali earth metal, and inhalation, injection, ingestion or body exposure to radium can cause chemical burns, radiation burns and can lead to cancer and other disorders. Radium is chemically similar to calcium, and it has the ability to replace calcuim in bones, which is extremely harmful. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radium.
What else can I help you with?
Who discovered radium and why is radium a very dangerous element?

What effect did radium and polonium?
Polonium and radium are radioactive elements and toxic; they are dangerous.
Do glowsticks have radium in them?
No, glowsticks do not contain radium. Glowsticks work by a chemical reaction that produces light through chemiluminescence, typically utilizing a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. Radium is a radioactive element that is not used in glowsticks for safety reasons.
What is a hazard for radium?
Exposure to radium poses a hazard due to its radioactive properties. It can emit harmful radiation, leading to potential health risks such as an increased likelihood of developing cancer and other radiation-related illnesses. It is essential to limit exposure to radium and follow safety protocols when working with this substance.
Can radium be explosive?
Rubidium has one stable isotope,85Rb. The isotope 87Rb which composes almost 28% of naturally occurring rubidium is slightly radioactive, with a half-life of 49 billion years-more than three times longer than the estimated age of the universe. There are 26 isotopes of rubidium known with naturally occurring rubidium being composed of just two isotopes; Rb-85 (72.2%) and the radioactive Rb-87 (27.8%). Natural rubidium is radioactive with specific activity of about 670 Bq/g, enough to fog photographic film in approximately 30 to 60 days. Rb-87 has a half-life of 4.88 × 1010 years. Based on Wikipedia article on Rubidium.

What does radium feel like?
Radium itself is odorless and tasteless. In its element form, radium is a solid metal and would feel cool to the touch like other metals. However, it is highly radioactive and extremely dangerous to handle due to its ability to emit harmful radiation.
What gas is produced when radium decays?
The extremely dangerous Radon (my favorite element).
