Best Answer

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.

If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?

As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.

Why do you need radium?

- To make luminescent paints and pastes (not in use today this application because is very dangerous) - To make neutron sources as Ra-Be - To prepare radon from radium chloride solutions - Scientific experiments - Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers


What kind of rock is radium found in?

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.


How is radium isolated?

Along with thorium, radium is found in uranium ore (pitchblende) as a decay product of uranium. It was first isolated in 1898 by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie, and Gustave Bemont, in Paris France. Smaller amounts have been extracted from the mineral carnotite (potassium uranium vanadate).
