Hi everyone! In this video I am going to tell you about the most radioactive metal on earth that is about radium. Radium is about a million times more radioactive than uranium. However, first let us talk about the discoverer of this metal that is about Marie Skłodowska Curie and her husband Pierre Curie and also about how their discovery of radium affected their health and life. - Věda a technologie

Thanks for video 😍🙏🇮🇳
I know the meaning of thoiso.... But can someone tell me what's the meaning of Thoisoi?... 🤔...and thanks thoisoi for such information.... Keep it 👆... 😇
@The Killer I think...... The answer is yes!
Maria Skłodowska-Curie didnt get sick from her scientific work, she got sick because of her work during WW1, she was doing x-rays to wounded soldiers in a x-ray car that she invented(in that only city hospitals was doing x-rays), thousands of photos with old x-ray machines killed her(old x-ray machines was not properly shielded and also u needed huge ammounts of radiation to make a picture with old photographic plates), so she died as a victim of WW1, she sacrificed her own health to safe life of who knows how many soldiers...

30 years ago I had a radium dial watch that had been made into a broach. It was extremely radioactive. I had to keep it in a lead box. I exposed film in a light proof envelope for less than a second to the face of the watch. After development you could read the numbers and the position of the hands. Exposures longer than one second turned the negative completely black.
When Radium was used on watch and clock faces to make hours and hands illuminate in darkness not much was known about radioactivity and dangers of such. A type of paint containing Radium was applied by girls working in clock factories with small brushes. To get the fine lines needed on clock faces they would put the bristles in their mouth using their lips and twirling the brushes to make them point then dipping in luminescent paint and apply to clocks. Each time they put their brush tips in their mouths they also recieved a small amount of Radium that accumulated in their jaw bones. Known later as the Radium girls, sadly all died from radiation poisoning.
it produces radioactive unreactive gas. It is not enough to put it in a lead box. The room fills with radioactive gas, if you have a radium clock somewhere. The gas diffunds through everything.

@@saifulquader7048 Zinc sulfide, it emits a green glow when exposed to ionizing radiation.
I read that radium clock hands don’t glow anymore, the zinc sulphide wears out or something, but it’s still radioactive as ever.
FANTASTIC video! Your production quality is outstanding and extremely informative. Thank you for producing quality content!
What is the name of powder in 8:52 sec.
Yes!!! We love your voice! Thank you for making videos you teach me a lot! And you are one of 2 major youtubers that got me into chemistry!
Thank you. I really enjoy your videos. I enjoyed chemistry at school back in the eighties but wanted to take the mechanical engineering route. The school wouldn't let me study both physics and chemistry. Thanks again. Worth every moment watching.
Really loved the quality of the video, you don't find such great content elsewhere on youtube, you really give your best on doing the research, you really love chemistry, thanks for these videos bro ✌
Every one of your videos has taught me at least one thing I didn't know. Thank you for this channel!
This was a really enjoyable video, thank you.
thx.. another great and highly informative video that put awarding focus on an old school pioneer in the radioactive field..Cheers from Denmark.
I remember as middle school student, we were shown a movie in class about mc and her husband and at the end the narrator talk about how their home was still radioactive, from the doorknobs to just about everything they'd touched. The sacrifices they had made in the name of science.
As always, this is a great video. Great pictures and great information. Please keep up the awesome work!
To get two noble prizes, as a woman, in that day and age, with no political correctness, and feminism seen as a real enemy by many, is a phenomenal achievement. She should be an inspiration to women everywhere, not the screaming Misandrists we have today.
not all men win nobel prize, and if a person is able it will get it men or women, nowdays it's stupid the only qualifications that feminist want to be asked is the gender, by the way she has a family and use to do house courses
Her nobel prize was actually very political . She was to promote emancipation movement of women and to promote' kick starters 'of Radiation therapy to fight Cancer.
"feminism seen as a real enemy by many"
uh, let me educate your ignorant ass:
it still is seen as an "enemy"... by ignorant asses such as yourself.
just... stfu.
@@michalwojcik1109 "Her nobel prize was actually very political ."
you don't know shit. really.
@@thomasneal9291 Marie's diary contains all the information. She was not interested in being famous and popular. Many organisations( feminist from USA, and chemical companies) asked her to be their face of their agendas. No need to get upset about it. Nobody question her skills for getting nobel,s in 1903 and 1911. Today 2020 and still in some countries any women's achievement is being used for political agenda- especially in countries where women needs to cover their faces.
Talking about radioactive elements we had an accident (level 5 at International Nuclear Event Scale) that happened here in Brazil about 32 years ago.
A man found a sealed capsule on an abandoned hospital and took it to his house, after opening it to sell the lead, he found a pretty nice glowing blue substance inside of it and took it to his home.
He gave some it to his neighbors, some friends and to some people from his family (including his brother's daughter that ate some of it with eggs accidentally)
Some people played with it, giving it to even more people. After some hours in contact with the Caesium the whole family begun to feel sick having all sort of problems caused by the radiation, they didn't knew what could be happening but his wife thought it could be happening because of the weird glowing substance that he found.
So, after some time they took the unknown substance to a health surveillance center to ask if it could be the cause of their problems, 'cause everything started after her husband open that sealed capsule. When the technician used his Geiger counter he thought that it was broken because the measure was too high, he borrowed another equipment to measure it again cause he couldn't believe at what he was seeing.
To make everything even worse, the government kept everything in secret telling to people it was a gas leakage...
Approximately 1000 people were affected by the disaster, the dead people had to be berried on sealed lead coffins and then covered with concrete.
It happened at the city of Goiânia-GO at 13th September 1987, the case is known by "O acidente - Césio 137".
I don't know if it is interesting to be shown on one of your videos but I think that it could be used as a warning to the people. Consider talking about it when you have the opportunity to show us something about this element.
Yeah anything related to Radiation is bad for our bodies.
@@Interestingworld4567 Not necessarily. We are bombarded with radiation daily--chances are right now, you are being exposed to radiation through watching this video via WiFi signals. Of course, this is a non-ionizing form of radiation, and thus it won't inflict significant damage on your cells. Even with ionizing radiation, there is a threshold of safe exposure (or at least non-damaging exposure).
The unfortunate fools involved in the Goiana accident were exposed to a very high level of ionizing radiation. However, this does not mean that we should fear radiation (ionizing or otherwise) on a pathological level. Personally, I view ionizing radiation as somewhat analogous to fire--unsafe exposure and improper precautions around it can wreak great harm, but when handled properly, it can be quite useful e.g. nuclear power, medical imaging, radiotherapy, and even the tritium-illuminated watch I wear daily.
On the topic of self-illuminating devices: if the 'radium girls' had been more circumspect (and if they had been instructed to take proper precautions), I'd be able to have a radium-illuminated watch today that _wouldn't_ cease to glow within 20 years, and that would probably be a lot cheaper. I guess this is why we can't have nice things! (I jest, partially).
Of course, there are some radioactive elements and subtances that have no practical use, such as radon. That stuff is just plain nasty--a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas. Since it's a gas, it is perhaps even more dangerous than radium in its solid form, because you can easily breath in radon for it to irradiate your lung tissue.
I think radon can be hazardous in enclosed rooms.
@@jimmij3894 Yes it can.
So sorry to hear this tragic story.

Not at all... she was just oblivious about the dangers of radiation.
These videos are getting really good! keep up the good work! :)
Well done video. Best yet I think of the series.
I am litterally in love with his English😆😅😉
You forgot to mention she was a Polish scientist and her name was Maria Sklodowska-Curie. She had a French husband but she was not French at all. Pierre was more helping in her work but she was a motor of all the discoveries. Polonium was called after Poland
She was also one of the first women in Europe with a driving licence which at that time was quite bold if not scandalous.
Polonium would be in a separate video, I had no idea that she was the first woman to have a driver’s licence. I know that she was either the first or one of the few women in her time to attend university.
Keep them coming. These videos are very informative and entertaining. Thank you.
Very cool video!! I suggest you to make other videos about great scientist like this one. Great job
If you're done with all the Elements, are you going to make videos about molecules? That would be awesome, and you basically couldn't run out of those, especially the organic ones ;)
Particles next?
@@raerae4752 There are already plenty of channels that do particles. Unique molecules would be a nice new topic.
@Ungregistered User Atoms aren't made up of photons, if that's what you're implying. In terms of matter, an atom contains quarks and electrons. All matter in the universe is currently thought to be made of the 17 elementary particles. These particles act very differently from our idea of matter, and they all have a reason to be called elementary.
I'm not sure if I misunderstood you, and you already knew this. If that's the case, sorry.
@Ungregistered User You are thinking of protons then which is the same as the atomic number of the element. Atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.
Organic molecules rock!!!
I have a few radium clocks and watches myself, one of them still glows faintly!
Love your vids man!
Please keep the awesome content!

Great video, keep going. Hope you get more and more patrons.
that was an utter enjoyment. thanks for that history and chemistry lesson.
I can’t think about this element without thinking about the Radium girls.
Tyler Johnson I don’t know who radium girls are
They were women who painted aviation instruments with Radium for night visibility during WWI. They decided it would be cool to paint their teeth and nails with it to make them glow. Most of them died a hideous and painful death from the radiation.
Allen Kemp lol yeah that’s the gist of it I suppose. Rather fucked up their bosses would be in full hazmat suits while the girls were blissfully unaware of the danger.
@@beefchillingham6790 Yeah and this was way before OSHA was around.
And now we know how we found out about all the poisonous berries and animals.

Great video and the rare footage!
i am pretty sure that Actinium is more radioactive with a half life of 21 years (most stable isotope) and superheavies which only have a half life of a few minutes at best
I think he means most radioactive naturally occurring metal but I'm not sure.
@@tomparmenter8665 same, i think it is the most radioactive natural metal
It actually does occur naturally, though in traces. It's in the normal decay chain of U-235
Superheavies aren't currently in existence on Earth, they exist only for milliseconds in a particle accelerator at the right times. Thus they are not "on Earth" right now. I believe francium would hold the title of most radioactive metal on Earth. The total amount in all the Earth is probably about 1 ounce, but it's enough that there is definitely guaranteed to be at least 1 atom at any one time. At a half-life of 22 MINUTES, francium has actinium beat by far.
There are always some Isotopes that may be generated momentarily with even shorter half-lives, for example, there's polonium 212 (which, according to Wikipedia, is classified as a metal) in the decay chain of thorium 232 with a half-life of 299ns, but I'm sure in some sidechain there are even shorter-lived elements.
Martyr of science and patron saint of researchers, may you rest in peace. THAT'S A ROLE MODEL.
role model.
@@thomasneal9291 whoops
This was excellent 👏. Honestly I'd LOVE to hear more about the devices they created to measure all this.
Great video, as always.
I have quite a few Radium containing devices in my radioactive collection. I have a Radium kit, too. One of the vials still contains some Radium + Zinc Sulfide. I am very careful, especially with Radium. I keep them sealed and shielded. I've been collecting stuff like this for years. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine. *Always* have a sensitive Geiger-Müller counter! Remember, the Curies worked with _milligrams_ to _grams_ of freshly prepared Radium compounds! _Millicuries_ to _curies_ in specific activity! 1 gram = 1 curie (37 GBq). 1 milligram = 1 millicurie (37 MBq). 1 microgram = 1 microcurie (37 kBq), etc. 1 Bq (becquerel) = 1 decay/second. Most products still around and available contain _only_ a few hundred nanograms to a few micrograms. Wow, did the Curies work with high activities back then!
The Fallout video game series parodies Radium's poorly judged and ubiquitous use in products like Nuka-Cola.
Thank you for the time you invested in making this video. thank you again.
Great Video mate. Keep it up! 🍻👌👌😎
Make a video about Radon
R u ordering or requesting??
@@RanDomDyCon requesting
Garden Chemistry then ask politely
Great video.
Madam Curie said that Radium was 1,000,000 times more radioactive than Uranium, still she handled it without proper precautions.... Why would anyone do that???
There was no awareness about radiation poisoning back then
Fun fact: Marie Curie's journals are apparently so radioactive that to read them you would need to wear special anti radiation protection, or a hazmat suit to read them.
If you don't know something is dangerous you don't take precautions, later as they got the first radioactive burns they started using leather gloves -which worked for alpha and beta particles, while Gamma radiation needed tech to be invented a couple decades later-
@TacticalMoonstone what i added for alpha and beta particles wasn't supposed to be crossed, and said that to protect people while handling gamma emmitters was technology that a couple decades in the future, namely remote handlers.
@TacticalMoonstone Although radium does give out some gamma, most of the decay from radium is alpha - which is VERY easily stopped.
Thanks for the caption.
Great work btw☺

Physicist and detector builder here. Actually ZnS:Ag lights up blue. When ZnS is doped with copper instead, it's green and has a longer persistence (and was used in all those green screen CRTs at first).
A small warning to collectors of old stuff - radioactive glow paint was used up through WWII on lots of stuff and can be pretty "hot" long after it no longer glows. This is because high energy alpha particles from nuclear decay on the order of mega-electron volts easily decompose the phosphor - ZnS being one example - the chemical bond strength is a single digit number of eV. They're still radioactive, though! My dad had a watch that would set off the safety detectors in nuclear plants from feet away!
So, don't be a "Radium girl" and lick the stuff or powder it up and breathe it. You'll be OK otherwise.

it remembers me of the old egypt people which used poisonous lead in their makeup
and today we know its harmful and still use similar shit, for example,
Aluminium + Teflon in pans. Booth materials are great as tools, but bad in the food xD. Known for deacades but because of lobbyism/corruption still sold for food usage. Another example is asbestos, finally banned after decades, but now a similar dangerous product sold again "mineral/glass wool".
There are dozens of other examples.
@@hyperhektor7733 :
Aluminium is safe.
Teflon is a very inert chemical. The problem comes from other chemical that are trapped in the teflon that leach out and get into the food.
Asbestos can be broken into tiny needles that float around in air and can get stuck into lugs and cause lung cancer.
Glass wool is probably also dangerous. Don't breath in any dust/particles.
@@louistournas120 Aluminium is not safe in your Body :) see connection to Alzheimer desease.
universityhealthnews.com/daily/memory/aluminum-linked-to-alzheimers-disease/
Aluminium is great as building materieal but its BS in cooking tools/food.(I think alumiumfoil mostly is safe since its use is non abrassive at low temp and mostly onetime.)
The problem with Teflon is that it gases at lower temperatures than the manufacturer claims (~80 degrees instead of 200).

This by far is your best video good job
Just wanted to let you know, that was the coolest thing I ever saw, when you used ethanol to show the alpha particles coming out of thorium/tungsten welding rods. I was blown away! that was so cool....🤯 and this radium, I know this was used in airplane instrumentation, as a way of Illuminating the gauges in the airplane, while flying in the Darkness. There was even a device made to x-ray your feet, so that they could fit you with proper shoes. You looked through this lens while standing on this machine, and it showed a green glowing x-ray of your bone structure. It wasn't until many people contracted cancer, that they realized what was causing it. I recently watched someone restore one, and I'm very curious to know how the bulb assembly was only radioactive when it was powered up. If you could check out my other comment, I'm really curious as to how that works. I've already learned so much from this channel, it's fantastic. Thank you🤯

Can we use this in a nuclear Rector instead of uranium
Technically yes, but only using element's radiation is problematic because you can't turn it off.
There's also such a small amount of radium compared to uranium, and also uranium releases more energy.
Sadly no - The MAIN issue is that to extract useful amounts of power from a nuclear reactor, you need materials which are FISSILE - that means that you can force them into a chain reaction - which yields HUGE amounts of energy as matter is literally converted to energy. Radium will not do that.
Thorium cannot either - but it FERTILE - which means it can be converted by Neutron capture to Uranium via the following method: Th232 +N > Th233 > Pa233 > U233 Uranium 232 IS FISSILE and can be used in a reactor.
(Pa = Protactinium)
