Radium hydroxide is an inorganic compound of radium, hydrogen, and oxygen with the chemical formula Ra(OH)₂.^[1] Stability constant of aqueous RaOH⁺ ion pair at zero ionic strength is equal to 5.^[2]

Synthesis

A reaction of radium metal with water:^{[citation needed]}

Ra + 2H₂O → Ra(HO)₂ + H₂

The reaction of radium oxide and water can also generate radium hydroxide, and the reaction releases a lot of heat:^{[citation needed]}

RaO + H₂O → Ra(HO)₂

The compound can also be prepared by reacting radium nitrate with NaOH in solution.^{[citation needed]}

Physical properties

Radium hydroxide forms colorless crystals that dissolve in water better than does barium hydroxide, and has more basic properties.

The compound forms a hydrate of the composition Ra(OH)₂·8H₂O.^[3]

Radium hydroxide is a caustic, toxic, and corrosive substance. It is significantly more toxic than barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) and strontium hydroxide (Sr(OH)₂).
