Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc.

Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers.

Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous.

Who Radium is a member of the alkaline earth family. In addition to being a part of this family what is another property of radium that you can deduce from the information given in the periodic table?

Since Radium is in the alkaline earth metal group, and we know that as you move down the group, it gets more reactive. So, since Radium is the last element of the group, another property of Radium is that it is highly reactive in nature.
