How has radium affected us?
Today radium does not affect us; more important is radon.
What element has 38 protons and 58 neutrons?
Stronium with 31 Protons and 37 Neutrons
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of radon?
There are 88 protons/electrons in radium. There are 138 neutrons.
What new element is formed when radium decays?
The neutrons aren't really relevant, since we don't know what the mass of the radium nucleus was and the element is determined strictly by the number of protons anyway. Radium has an atomic number of 88; losing 4 protons would make the atomic number 84, which is polonium. (This is probably really a two-step process: radium -> radon -> polonium, where each step is an alpha decay.)
Is radon occurring or is synthetic?
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 is more reactive uranium radon or radium?
Uranium is the most reactive.
When radium -226 decays to form radon -222 the radium nucleus emits?
When radium-226 decays to form radon-222, the radium nucleus emits a alpha particle.
How do you get radium in your house?
Fortunately we haven't radium in our houses (but we have radon !).
How many protons does radium have?
Radium has 88 protons.
What happens when two protons and two neutrons are ejected from a radium nucleus?
The radioactive gas radon is obtained: 226Ra-----alpha particle------222Rn
Radon has how many protons?
Radon has 86 protons.
What is the decay process does radium 226 undergo including the nuclear changes that occur?
Radium-226--------------------Radon-222 + alpha
