Radium nitrate is a chemical compound of radium from the group of nitrates .

Extraction and presentation

Anhydrous radium nitrate is made by reacting the carbonate with nitric acid .

properties

Radium nitrate is a white solid that is readily soluble in water. The solubility decreases with increasing concentration of nitric acid. Due to its low solubility in 80% nitric acid, radium nitrate can be easily separated from the nitrates of other elements.
