A radioactive decay product of uranium often found in uranium ore. It has several radioactive isotopes. Radium-226 decays to radon-222. A radioactive element which the chemical symbol Ra; radium and its salts are used in gamma ray radiography because of their radioactivity. Melting point is 700 B0C (1292 B0F).
ChemistryA ventilation system beneath the floor of a basement and/or structural wood floor and designed to fan exhaust radon gas to the outside of the home. Energy transmitted from a heat source to the air around it. Radiators actually depend more on convection than radiation.
