A +1 oxidation state?
[edit]https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2299-4 Should I add the +1 oxidation state to the infobox for this article? It seems reasonable, since the radium in RaF gave away one electron to a fluorine. SupercriticalXenon (talk) 14:41, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Physics beyond the standard model
[edit]Is the information in the article under Modern applications regarding radium's place in "new models" of physics due to breaking forces useful? It seems overly technical in relation to the rest of the article and the sources provided don't make much mention of radium in particular. Could be some kind of WP:SYNTH?
