What effect did radium and polonium?
Polonium and radium are radioactive elements and toxic; they are dangerous.
Is copper reactive explosive radioactive toxic or magnetic?
no it is not
What element is an alkaline earth metal is very toxic?
Radium is element number 88 with the symbol Ra. Radium is an alkaline earth metal in group 2 of the periodic table. Radium is radioactive and very toxic.
What is the toxic radioactive metallic element that occurs in small quantities as a decay product of uranium?
All the decay chain isotopes are radioactive and toxic (excepting the last member which is non-radioactive but also toxic); you think probably to radium or polonium.
What is a hazard for radium?
Radium is a radioactive chemical element, very dangerous, an alpha radiations emitter; radium is also a source of radon, by decay - radon (gas) is also a radioactive element.
Is radium dangerous or explosive?
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 dangers does plutonium present?
Plutonium is very toxic, highly radioactive (alpha-emitter) and sometimes the criticality is a problem.
What is the toxic radioactive metalic waste element of uranium?
Uranium itself is a radioactive and toxic element. All the elements from the decay chain of uranium isotopes are also radioactive (ex.: radon, radium, etc.) excepting the final product, an isotope of lead.
Is radium a radioactive gas?
Radium is a solid, radon is a gas. Both are radioactive.
Radium and polonium are discovered to be radioactive?
Yes, radium and polonium are radioactive elements.
Why plutonium is the most dangerous element in the Earth?
Because plutonium is very toxic, radioactive, flammable and explosive.
If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?
As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.
