Radium exist in very small concentrations in uranium ores. It was first discovered in uranium minerals from Joachimsthal, North Bohemia (now Jachymov in the Czech Republic) by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie and Gustave Bemont (1898).
What else can I help you with?
What is the abundance of radium in the earth's crust?
The concentration of radium in the Earth's crust is estimated to be about 1 part per trillion. Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that is found in trace amounts in rocks and minerals.
Can radium be manufactured artificially?
Radium is a natural chemical element, an alkali earth metal; but some isotopes of radium can be obtained artificially.
In what family would you classify radium?
Radium is a member of the alkaline earth metals group (group 2).
Which family is the element Radium in?
Radium is in the alkaline earth metals.
What kind of metal is radium?
Yes. Radium is actually considered an alkaline earth metal. Its colour is nearly pure white, but when exposed to air, it turns black. Radium is also extremely radioactive. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radium.
