More science for you!

The Periodic Table is part of our every day life. Let's keep your brain active. Science is fun. 🧪

This week we Feature: Radium (Ra)

Under standard conditions radium is a silvery metal. It is very radioactive emitting light rays that cause it to glow in the dark. When exposed to the air it will quickly form a black coating by reacting with the nitrogen in the air. It also reacts readily with other elements and substances including water.

The radiation given off by radium is extremely dangerous. It is over one million times as radioactive as uranium. Overexposure to radium can cause cancer and eventually death.

This week we Feature: Astatine (AT)

Astatine is a chemical element. Some of its isotopes may be in nature. But because it is extremely unstable (roughly speaking, the atoms fall apart), only about an ounce exists in the Earth's crust at one point in time. It is radioactive. The longest-living isotope 210At has a half-life of a bit over eight hours. It is used in the form of an astatine isotope. It is used for cancer treatment and in Radioactive tracers.

This week we Feature: Polonium (PO)

Polonium is a rare radioactive metalloid. It is chemical element 84 on the periodic table and its symbol is Po. It was discovered in 1898 by Marie and Pierre Curie.

Polonium is highly unstable, radioactive and toxic. This makes it difficult to handle. It can be dangerous, even in very small amounts. One gram of Po will self-heat to a temperature of about 500 °C (932 °F). It also vaporizes easily.
