In a relationship with uranium which is a yellow glass containing more than 1% uranium oxide dating back to 79 AD was found near Naples in Italy. Klaproth recognized an unknown element in pitchblende and attempted to isolate the metal in 1789. He named the element for the planet uranus which had just been discovered.
What I have in common with Victoria is that we are very very colorful. We both like the earth, yet can sometimes make mistakes which causes us to get in trouble. Victoria has two bestest friends and guess what, SO DO I! She likes to shine and will keep on striving towards her goal til the end.
I was discovered by Friedrich Ernst Dorn at 1900 in Germany, named after "the element radium" (radon was called niton at first, from the Latin word "nitens" meaning "shining".
I am a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas that's formed during the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. I exit through underground and can seep into your home through cracks and holes in the foundation. My gas can also contaminate well water. Health officials have determined that I am a carcinogen that can cause lung cancer. Studies show that radon is more of a risk to smokers, but nonsmokers have a slightly elevated chance of developing lung cancer when radon levels in the home are high. The only way to find out if your house contains radon gas is to perform radon tests. I am the heaviest known gas and often found associated with uranium
Right now,radon is presented as a dissolved gas in some spring waters (such as those at Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA).
Who I'd like to meet:
I am a radioactive element and in very rare times do i combine with other elements.
Two unique elements which I combine with are, Uranium and Thorium

A yellow glass containing more than 1% uranium oxide dating back to 79 AD was found near Naples in Italy. Klaproth recognized an unknown element in pitchblende and attempted to isolate the metal in 1789. He named the element for the planet uranus which had just been discovered. However, uranium metal itself was first isolated in 1841 by Eugene-Melchoir Peligot, who reduced the anhydrous chloride UCl4 with potassium. The radioactive nature of uranium was not appreciated for another 55 years when in 1896 Henri Becquerel detected its radioactivity.
Thorium was discovered by Jöns Berzelius at 1829 in Sweden.Origin of name: named after "Thor", the mythological Scandinavian god of war.ome of the compounds that can be mixed with thorium are, halogens, oxygen and hydrogen.
