Can radium be poisonous?
Not chemically but yes radioactively.When ingested radium substitutes for calcium in the bones. Its intense radiation first kills the osteoblasts (bone forming cells) causing bones to weaken and even crumble away, then it kills the bone marrow causing both anemia and immune system failure.
Is radium dangerous or explosive?
Yes. Radium is a highly radioactive alkali earth metal, and inhalation, injection, ingestion or body exposure to radium can cause chemical burns, radiation burns and can lead to cancer and other disorders. Radium is chemically similar to calcium, and it has the ability to replace calcuim in bones, which is extremely harmful. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radium.
What is least reactive calcium magnesium radium strontium and barium?
Radium is the least reactive among calcium, magnesium, strontium, and barium. Radium is a highly radioactive metal that readily reacts with other elements, but it is less reactive compared to the other listed elements.
What are radium's family members name?
Radium belongs to the alkaline earth metals family, which includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium itself.
Is Radium a main metal in the human body?
No, radium is not a main metal in the human body. In fact, radium is a radioactive metal that is not naturally found in the human body. It can be harmful if ingested or inhaled due to its radioactive properties.
What element can substitute for calcium in the bones?
The element is radium, it can be placed in the bones.
Can radium be poisonous?

What are the negative and positive effects of radium?
the positive aspects of radium is glows in the dark and added another element to the periodic table of elements the negative aspects are it gives cancer and if ingested your body will believe its calcium causing weakening of the bones and something called radium jaw were the jaw falls of from being weakened from the radium.

Where radium is found in you?
Fortunately radium don't exist normally in the human body; after an unhappy internal contamination radium can be fixed in bones.
What is least reactive calcium magnesium radium strontium and barium?
Radium is the least reactive among calcium, magnesium, strontium, and barium. Radium is a highly radioactive metal that readily reacts with other elements, but it is less reactive compared to the other listed elements.
List all of the alkali earth metals?
The alkaline earth metals are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.
How many Alkaline earth metals are there on the Periodic Table of Elements?
Six elements are there. And they are: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium
How does calcium keep bones healthy?
calcium makes your bones stronger
What is heavier Beryllium magnesium calcium strontium barium or radium?
The maximum density in this list: radium with 5,50 g/cm3.
What are radium's family members name?
Radium belongs to the alkaline earth metals family, which includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium itself.
What is calcium made of?
I don't think bones are made of calcium. Calcium is a nutrition that your bones need to be strong.
