Radium undergoes radioactive decay, specifically alpha decay, to become radon. Radium-226 (226Ra) will undergo alpha decay releasing that alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, to become radon-222 (222Rn).

∙ 10y agoAfter alpha disintegration radium-226 become radon-222.
Another answer:
All of the isotopes of Radium are radioactive. When they decay, they emit radiation and form new radioactive elements. Isotopes of Radium decay into different isotopes of Radon. Radium-226 will decay into Radon-222, and Radium-228 goes through several decays to Radium-224 before forming Radon-220.
The entire process stops when the last decay process yields stable Lead.

∙ 7y agoI understand that none of the varieties (isotopes) of radium will decay directly into lead. It would have to convert into various intermediate isotopes first.

∙ 7y agoRadium-226 decay by the intermediate of many others radioactive isotopes (all these isotopes emit radiations) to lead-206, the last isotope in the 4n + 2 chain; Pb-206 is a stable isotope.

How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of radium?
Two electrons in the outer shell of radium.
Is radium spring dangerous because of radium?
Yes. Radium is a radioactive element that is found in small amounts in uranium ores. Radium, like all other radioactive materials, is dangerous if handled improperly. It was most famously used in luminescent paints. There was a lawsuit filed against their employers by five dying women who, uneducated about the dangers of radioactive Radium, were hired to use the paints to make the faces of glow-in-the-dark watch faces for the military. The radium in the paint seeped through their skin into their bodie and they suffered from bone cancer and anemia. Radium, once in the body, is treated as calcium and transfered to the bones where its radioactivity degrades the marrow, reducing blood production and possibly mutating bone cells.
Is silver a cation or anion?
Silver is normally not a cation or an anion, it is an element. Once it becomes an ion however, it will become a CATION with a +1 charge (Ag^+).
What element is poisonous but was once used as a medicine?
mercury
What is an element once used in an antiseptic?
To kill bacteria.
How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of radium?
Two electrons in the outer shell of radium.
What radioactive element was once used as a glow-in-the-dark paint?
The answer is Radium Ra group IIA or atomic number 88
Radium what is it used for?
It isn't used for anything anymore--they have better, safer isotopes to do the things radium was once used for.
Once living decayed material found in soil?
yes. composting...

What composes soil?
Decayed plants and animals compose the soil. When plants and animals die they decay and become part of the soil. New plants grow causing herbivores to come and eat the plants. Well you know how the cycle goes and then the dead animals and plants become part of the soil once again

What produces biomass?
old trees, decayed food, anything that was once alive less than a hundred years ago
Does adding an id create locations on a web page that become destinations of links?
Yes, Once you've marked an element using the id attribute, you can create a hypertext link to that element using the hypertext link.
