The radium ion is Ra(2+).
Ra= Radium SCN= Thiocyanate However, the formula you gave in the question would not be the correct formula for it. The formula should be Ra(SCN)2
Some compounds of radium: RaF2, RaCl2, RaI2,RaBr2, RaO, Ra3N2, Ra(OH)2, etc.
Radium chloride, RaCl2, was the first radium compound to be prepared in a pure state and was the basis of Marie Curie's original separation of radium from barium. The first preparation of radium metal was by the electrolysis of a solution of radium chloride using a mercury cathode.
Radium was discovered by Marie Sklodowska Curie, a Polish chemist, and Pierre Curie, a French chemist, in 1898. Marie Curie obtained radium from pitchblende, a material that contains uranium, after noticing that unrefined pitchblende was more radioactive than the uranium that was separated from it. She reasoned that pitchblende must contain at least one other radioactive element. Curie needed to refine several tons of pitchblende in order to obtain tiny amounts of radium and polonium, another radioactive element discovered by Curie. One ton of uranium ore contains only about 0.14 grams of radium. Today, radium can be obtained as a byproduct of refining uranium and is usually sold as radium chloride (RaCl2) or radium bromide (RaBr2) and not as a pure material.
RaBr2 is radium bromide.

Radium has an oxidation state of +2, Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2.....so it'll look like this Skeleton equation: Ra + O2 --> RaO.... Balanced equation 2Ra + O2---> 2RaO
