Why are the properties of radium and polonium same?
Polonium and radium are radioactive chemical elements but they have not the same properties.
What are radium's magnetic properties?
Radium is a non-magnetic metal.
Chemical properties of the element radium?
sulfur
How do the properties of radium differ from the properties of the compounds formed by radium?
Radium glows in the dark and is radioactive. When it decays into Radon gas, it emits alpha particles. It is fairly close to its compound radiumchlorite because like radium, it also decays emiting alpha particles. However, radiumchlorite is used to help cure canser. Overal, radium is like its most comon compound but can also have properties not related to its compounds at all.
Is the radium institute still running?
No, the Radium Institute is no longer operational. It was a research facility in Paris that specialized in studying the properties of radium and radioactivity, but it closed down in the mid-20th century.
Why is radium a good conductor?
Radium is not a good conductor. In fact, radium is a poor conductor of electricity due to its low thermal and electrical conductivity. Its chemical properties make it an insulator rather than a conductor of electricity.
What metals have the same properties as radium?
The alkaline earth metals and especially barium.
What is radium chloride?
Radium chloride is a compound made of radium and chlorine. It is a radioactive substance known for its luminescent properties. Due to its high radioactivity, it is used in scientific research and medical applications, but must be handled with extreme caution.
Why does radium substitute for calcium in bones?
Calcium and radium are in the same group of the periodic table of Mendeleev (group 2, alkaline earth metals); consequently calcium and radium has similar chemical properties and can be interchangeable in some situations.
Is Radium ductile?
Yes, radium is a highly ductile metal. It can be easily bent and shaped without breaking. However, due to its radioactive properties, handling radium poses health risks and precautions should be taken.
What does Ra stand for in periodic table?
In the periodic table, Ra stands for the element radium. Radium is a highly radioactive element with atomic number 88. It is in the alkaline earth metal group and is known for its luminescent properties.
What are three unusual properties of polonium and radium?
These elements are: - radioactive - dangerous - rare - expensive
