from uranium ore. RaBr2 is a water-soluble, poisonous,
radioactive white powder or white orthorhombic crystals
that is corrosive to skin or flesh. It melts at 728°C used in medicine, physical research, and luminous
paint. Its structure remains unknown.
Radium bromide has been used for skin
complaints such as acne, moles, skin, cancer, eczema,
dermatitis, and acne–rosacea. It is also used in
research projects but is not offered for sale to the
