Radium has not its own minerals; radium exist in extremely low concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
This is the isotope radium-226.
Malachite is a green mineral that contains copper. It is a secondary mineral formed in the oxidation zones of copper ore deposits.
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.
pitchblende was the first, but any good uranium ore will do as it is a daughter element of uranium's decay.
Radium silver is a type of silver alloy that contains a small amount of radium. This alloy was used in the early 20th century to produce luminous dials for watches and clocks due to radium's ability to glow in the dark. However, radium is radioactive and poses health risks, leading to the discontinuation of its use in consumer products.
Uraninite
Uranium Oxide- U3O8
No it is not a mineral but it contains minerals
Radium is a radio active element which always undergoes nuclear fission and desentegration, and releases energy in the form of radiation. It is an element. There is no compound in it. It contains atoms of radium.
Topsoil is not a mineral, but it contains minerals.
This is the isotope radium-226.
Basalt contains the greatest quantity of the mineral plagioclase feldspar.
Radium is a white metal that does not occur in a free state; it must be refined from pitchblende and occurs naturally only as a disintegration product in the radioactive decay of thorium, uranium, or actinium.
A mineral sulfide is a mineral that contains the S2- ion.
Malachite is a green mineral that contains copper. It is a secondary mineral formed in the oxidation zones of copper ore deposits.
