Radium

Radium

Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive chemical element belonging to the alkaline earth metal group. It is primarily of scientific and specialized research interest due to its radioactive properties.

Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive chemical element with the symbol Ra and atomic number 88. It belongs to the alkaline earth metal group and is known for its radioactive properties. Radium occurs in trace quantities in uranium-bearing minerals and has been studied in nuclear science, radiochemistry, and specialized scientific research. Due to its intense radioactivity and associated health hazards, radium is subject to strict handling, storage, transport, and regulatory requirements. It is not an ordinary industrial chemical and must only be handled by authorized organizations under applicable radiation-safety regulations. Product Name: Radium Chemical Symbol: Ra Atomic Number: 88 Atomic Weight: Approximately 226 (for Radium-226) CAS Number: 7440-14-4 Chemical Classification: Radioactive Alkaline Earth Metal Applications: • Nuclear Science and Radiochemistry Research • Specialized Scientific Research • Radiation Science and Instrumentation Research • Historical and Scientific Studies Product Specifications: Isotopic composition, activity, purity, and physical form must be established through authorized technical documentation. Safety Information: Radium is highly radioactive and presents serious health hazards. Exposure can cause severe harm, particularly if radioactive material enters the body. Handling, possession, storage, transport, and disposal require appropriate authorization, radiation protection measures, and compliance with applicable regulations. For legitimate scientific inquiries, consult authorized radiation-material suppliers and the relevant regulatory authorities.
