What else can I help you with?
What happens when you put radium inside a glass jar?
Nothing special
What happens when you mix radium with water?
When radium comes into contact with water, it reacts to form radium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Radium is a highly radioactive element, so caution should be taken to avoid exposure to both the radioactive material and the chemical reaction byproducts.
When the DNA strand is ready to copy what happens?
When the DNA strand is ready to copy, it basically splits in half and new hydrogen bonds come in to replace the missing half. This process is called translation (I believe).
Is radium harmful to humas and animals?
yes,because it damages DNA leading to cell death and mutagenisis which causes cancer
What does radium have to do with cancer?
1. Radium was used in the past for the radiotherapy of some cancers. 2. But because radium is strongly radioactive uncontrolled irradiation or contamination with radium can lead to some cancers.
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 happens during the S phrase?
During the S stage DNA synthesis occurs. (copying of the DNA)
What happens during DNA splitting?
You get two exact replica or the photocopies of DNA during splitting of DNA.
What happens when a DNA molecule unzips?
DNA splits, and mRNA and tRNA are there to create new strands for the new replicated DNA strand. This is what happens prior to mitosis in cell division.
What happens when you mix radium with acid?
It produces a Radium salt and Hydrogen gas:Ra + 2 H+ ----> Ra2+ + H2
When a mistake happens in the process of copying DNA the result is called .?
When a mistake happens in the process of copying DNA, the result is called a Mutation.
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.
