All isotopes of radium are highly radioactive, with the most stable isotope being radium-226, which has a half-life of 1600 years and decays into radon gas.When radium decays, ionizing radiation is a product, which can excite fluorescent chemicals and cause radioluminescence.n nature, radium is found in uranium and (to a lesser extent) thorium ores in trace amounts as small as a seventh of a gram per ton of uraninite.
Radium is a silvery-white metal that is radioactive. It sends out energy in the form of rays, waves or particles. It is found in nature and can exist in several forms. Radium forms when two other chemicals (uranium and thorium) break down in most rocks and soil. Radium will undergo radioactive decay.igh levels of radium can cause cancer (especially bone cancer), anemia, a problem with the blood; fractured teeth and cavities, and growths in the eyes called cataracts. Some of these health problems take years to develop. Most are due to gamma radiation, which can travel a long way through the air.
