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 rarely in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous.
What else can I help you with?
What is radium common name?
The first name was radium; some isotopes had in the past other names.
What is the latin name for radium?
Radium has no Latin name as it was unknown to the Romans. The name "Radium" is a synthetic Latin style name made up by its discover: Marie Curie.
What does Ra stand for on the periodic table?
Ra stands for Radium on the periodic table. Radium is a radioactive element with atomic number 88 and is commonly used in medicine for some cancer treatments.
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.
What ionic compound is made when radium and oxygen react?
Radium forms an ionic compound with oxygen known as radium oxide (RaO). In this compound, radium, a metal, donates electrons to oxygen, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between them. Radium oxide is a solid compound with high ionic character due to the large difference in electronegativity between radium and oxygen.

Is radium found in meteorites?
Radium exist in very small concentrations in some meteorites.
What are the uses of the radium?
Today radium hasn't many important uses: - radium-beryllium neutrons sources - radium solutions as radon source and standards - possible use in the radiotherapy of some cancers
Is radium naturally made?
