Radon occurs from alpha decay of solid radium, that is, with the loss of two protons and two neutrons alpha particles are emitted. Felsic, igneous parent bed rock such as granite can contain trace amounts of radium. It is naturally occurring.

Which halogon has the greatest atomic mass?

Radon, unless you count the synthetic Ununoctium. But because it is radioactive, highly unstable, and synthetic, I would discount it for now. It does however have the largest atomic mass for any known atomic substance. So, the answer is Radon.

Where do they get radon from?

Radon is a naturally occurring element. It is a noble gas, and is highly unreactive. Radon is a poisonous gas and is the second most common reason people have lung cancer (behind smoking). Most radon comes from beneath the ground and as it rises up it can permeate through someone's home. This is why it is important to have radon detectors in geographical areas that have had a historically high concentration of radon.
