Which is more reactive uranium radon or radium?

Radium is more reactive than radon. Radium is a highly reactive metal that readily forms compounds, while radon is a noble gas and is less reactive due to its stable electron configuration.


When radium-226 decays to form radon-222 the radium nucleus emits a?

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.

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.)
