Radon is a radioactive gas that is found in the earth's rock and soil and is formed by the natural breakdown of radium, which is a radioactive product of decaying uranium.
Radium is the decay product of uranium which occurs naturally in the soil and rocks of the earth’s crust.

If a radium atom is deep within a big grain, then regardless of the direction of recoil, it will not free the radon from the grain, and the radon atom will remain embedded in the mineral.
These are usable for measuring dissolved radon in water, radon flux from the ground and also for measuring radium in soil.
Uranium breaks down into radium, and radon is the decay product of radium.

Radium Hot Springs Water T he water travels deep into the earth and returns to the surface with more than 700 milligrams of minerals per litre at a rate of 1 800 litres.
Average concentrations of radium are usually low, and radon gas will usually migrate harmlessly into the atmosphere through the soil.

A radium atom decays to radon by releasing an alpha particle, containing two neutrons and two protons, from its nucleus.
Radium 226/228 (Ra) Radium occurs in ground water due to the radioactive decay of Uranium in geologic formation.
Radon is a byproduct of the decay of uranium and radium, both of which occur naturally in most soils and rocks.
