Does Radium lose or gain

Radium, an unstable radioactive element, primarily undergoes radioactive decay rather than conventional chemical reactions. In this process, it loses energy and mass by emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Over time, this results in a decrease in the amount of radium present as it transforms into other elements. Therefore, radium effectively "loses" in terms of its quantity and stability as it decays.
