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.


What is radium chloride?

Radium chloride is a compound made of radium and chlorine. It is a radioactive substance known for its luminescent properties. Due to its high radioactivity, it is used in scientific research and medical applications, but must be handled with extreme caution.


How do the properties of radium differ from the properties of the compounds formed by radium?

Radium glows in the dark and is radioactive. When it decays into Radon gas, it emits alpha particles. It is fairly close to its compound radiumchlorite because like radium, it also decays emiting alpha particles. However, radiumchlorite is used to help cure canser. Overal, radium is like its most comon compound but can also have properties not related to its compounds at all.

What can be the controlled variable for making glowing water for a science fair?

The controlled variable for making glowing water could be the concentration of the glowing compound (such as a fluorescent dye or chemical) added to the water. By keeping the concentration consistent, you can ensure that any differences in glow intensity are due to the manipulated variable (such as the amount of light exposure or type of light source used) and not the concentration of the glowing compound itself.
