The discovery of radium. How are new elements discovered? These days, it is through deliberate, concerted effort in a known direction: the only empty spots in the periodic table are all at the high end, at atomic numbers above 105 (or 108, or whatever the current value is). Physicists know that if they bombard heavy elements with energetic ...Web

Radium (Ra) is a highly radioactive alkaline earth metal that is naturally found in uranium ores. Its appearance is silvery white in its pure form, although it reacts readily with nitrogen in the air to form radium nitride, leaving behind a blackened surface layer.
