The density of radium at about room temperature is 5.5 g·cm−3. That's 5.5 grams per cubic centimeter, or 5.5 grams per milliliter. A link to the Wikipedia article on radium is provided.
The mass number of the isotope radium-226 (the most common isotope) is 226.
The mass number of the isotope 228Ra is 228.
88
The atomic mass of the radium isotope 226Ra is 226,025 409 8(25).
When Radium-226 decays to form Radon-222, the Radium nucleus emits an alpha particle. The atomic number goes down by 2, and the mass number goes down by 4, matching the atomic number and mass number of the alpha particle.
The mass number of the isotope 228Ra is 228.
88
The atomic mass of the radium isotope 226Ra is 226,025 409 8(25).
The atomic number is 88 and the atomic mass is 226
The most stable isotope of radium - 226Ra - has the atomic mass 226,025 409 8 (25).
When Radium-226 decays to form Radon-222, the Radium nucleus emits an alpha particle. The atomic number goes down by 2, and the mass number goes down by 4, matching the atomic number and mass number of the alpha particle.
Radium has 88 electrons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - 88
Radium 226--------alpha particle-------- Radon 222
Radium has 88 electrons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - 88 The most stable and known isotope of radium, 226Ra, has 138 neutrons.
