What is the common compound of thorium?
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
How thorium and uranium occur in nature?
See the lists below for the exact concentrations in the Earth crust and for minerals.
Common commpouds of thorium?
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
What chemicals are in thorium fluoride?
Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4
What is thorium smell like?
Thorium don't smell.
Which element has 90 electrons as a neutral atom?
Thorium (Th).
Is thorium homogeneous?
Thorium is a natural, radioactive, chemical element; chemically, thorium is homogeneous.
What is a good slogan for remembering thorium?
Thorium: soft but strong! Thorium is totally radioactive!
What are the chemical properties of thorium?
Thorium is a tetravalent element. Thorium react slowly with water; thorium can react with concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen chloride. Thorium can react with the majority of other chemical elements. The Pauling electronegativity of thorium is 1,3.
What is the English name of an thorium?
Also thorium.
