Radium

[Sarah]

An intensely radioactive metallic element found (combined) inminute quantities in pitchblende, and various other uranium minerals.Symbol, Ra; atomic weight, 226.4. Radium was discovered by M. andMme. Curie, of Paris, who in 1902 separated compounds of it by atedious process from pitchblende. Its compounds color flames carmineand give a characteristic spectrum. It resembles barium chemically.Radium preparations are remarkable for maintaining themselves at ahigher temperature than their surroundings, and for their radiations,which are of three kinds: alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays (seethese terms). By reason of these rays they ionize gases, affectphotographic plates, cause sores on the skin, and produce many otherstriking effects. Their degree of activity depends on the proportionof radium present, but not on its state of chemical combination or onexternal conditions.The radioactivity of radium is therefore anatomic property, and is explained as result from a disintegration ofthe atom. This breaking up occurs in at least seven stages; thesuccessive main products have been studied and are called radiumemanation or exradio, radium A, radium B, radium C, etc. (Theemanation is a heavy gas, the later products are solids.) Theseproducts are regarded as unstable elements, each with an atomicweight a little lower than its predecessor. It is possible that leadis the stable end product. At the same time the light gas helium isformed; it probably consists of the expelled alpha particles. Theheat effect mentioned above is ascribed to the impacts of theseparticles. Radium, in turn, is believed to be formed indirectly by animmeasurably slow disintegration of uranium.

Audiowarez crew that rocked the world and released thousands of progz till it got too notorious and was disbanded. Famous the world over with old school Computer Musicians for freeing up the tools of music production to the masses.

A notorius element in the Periodic Table of Elements known for its radioactivity and role in early radiotherapy. Was first discovered by [Marie Curie] at the dawn of the 20th century. Though killed by her dangerous endeavor to discover radium by chronic radiation exposure, radium has served to save many [cancer] patients's lives.

fat, mentally unstable, physically repulsive serial sexual harasser.
Optimistic by nature, the typical radium will always believe he is one spittle laden offensive remark away from getting laid. Countless rejections, often violent in nature will not diminish a radium's resolve to have any physical interaction whatsoever with a female, in order to embellish it into a story. When reality sets in, a radium can become clinically depressed, as might be expected for a creature that is verging on the obese, horrifyingly unattractive, generally unliked and mistrusted. Overuse of drugs can temporarily hold off this situation, but risks cyclical committal to a mental institution for rehabilitation. This, however, will not concern the radium at all, providing him with another story that he can convince himself is something to be proudly recounted to others.

The chemical element of atomic number 88, a rare radioactive metal of the alkaline earth series. It was formerly used as a source of radiation for radiotherapy.
