Radium oxide is an inorganic compound of radium and oxygen with the chemical formula RaO. [1] [2] [3]
The compound can be obtained by heating metallic radium in air: [4] [5]
This reaction also produces radium nitride and possibly radium peroxide:
Radium oxide can react with water to form radium hydroxide:
It is often used as a precursor to create other radium compounds that are used in radiation therapy.
