  Radium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radium preparations are remarkable for maintaining themselves at a higher temperature than their surroundings, and for their radiations, which are of three kinds: alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays.
Radium (usually in the form of radium chloride) is used in medicine to produce radon gas which in turn is used as a cancer treatment.
In 1902 radium was isolated into its pure metal by Curie and Andre Debierne through the electrolysis of a pure radium chloride solution by using a mercury cathode and distilling in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas.

Radium is formed by the radioactive disintegration of uranium and is consequently found in all uranium ores.
Radium is present in uranium ore to the extent of 1 part of radium to 3 million of uranium.
It is extracted from the ore by the addition of a compound of barium that acts as a “carrier.” The chemical properties of radium are similar to those of barium, and the two substances are removed from the other components of the ore by precipitation of barium and radium sulfate.

The most important property of radium and its compounds is their radioactivity; radiotherapy is used in medicine in the treatment of cancer.
Radium is also used as a neutron source (mixed with beryllium) and as a gamma-ray source.
Radium was discovered in 1898 by Pierre and Marie Curie in pitchblende given them by Austria after the uranium salts had been removed for use in glass manufacture.

Radiation from radium has a harmful effect upon living cells, and radium burns are caused by overexposure to the rays.
Radium is now used in the treatment of only a few kinds of cancer; radium chloride or radium bromide is enclosed in a sealed tube and inserted in the diseased tissue.
When a radium salt is mixed with a substance such as zinc sulfide, the substance is caused to luminesce by the bombardment of the alpha rays emitted by the radium.

 Barium chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since barium chloride is soluble in water, it can react with sulfate ion to produce a thick white precipitate of barium sulfate.
Barium chloride behaves as a simple salt, and it is completely neutral in solution.
Barium chloride may be prepared from barium hydroxide or barium carbonate (found naturally as witherite) reacting with hydrochloric acid.

In group 2 (or IIa) of the periodic table (see Periodic Law), radium is one of the alkaline earth metals.
Radium was discovered in the ore pitchblende by the French chemists Marie Curie and Pierre Curie in 1898.
One fraction, isolated by use of bismuth sulfide, contained a strongly radioactive substance that the Curies showed was a new element, polonium.

 Hahn and Strassmann discover fission
The "radium" was separated from the irradiated uranium sample with barium chloride; after 2 1/2 h, the barium chloride was dissolved again, and reprecipitated.
The short-lived Ra II has completely decayed during this time, and the Ac II (2 1/2 h half-life) which was formed from Ra II in the barium chloride is removed in the recrystallization process.
In the meantime, we have determined that the 14-min radium (previously given as 25 min) decays to actinium with a 2.5-h half-life (previously given as 4 h).

The primary activity at the U.S. Radium Corporation was the extraction and purification of radium from carnotite ore to produce luminous paints, which were produced under the brand name Undark.
It was later learned that the deaths were due to radiation contamination associated with exposure to radium, one of the prime ingredients of the luminescent paint.
The original microfilm was made at Argonne National Laboratory sometime between 1969 and 1981 from documents furnished Argonne for research purposes by U.S. Radium Corp. The records were contaminated by radium, and the originals were disposed of as contaminated waste.
