Uranium is very common compared to silver (22-40 times more plentiful depending on source) and much more common than gold. Australia & Canada have the largest reserves of the element as well.
Iridium in contrast is the rarest solid non-radioactive element in the Earth's crust.
Now when comparing the abundance of elements in the universe, uranium is actually much rarer than iridium (which is more common than silver or gold).
No, gold is around twice more expensive than iridium.
yes
no,just harder
Iridium is a 6.5 on the MOHs scale. This makes it about as hard as glass, silicon, or iron pyrite. It is harder than titanium or manganese, but softer than quartz or vanadium.
No. Platinum is worth far more.
No, but Iridium is more valuable.
Iridium is a valuable metal and is rarer than gold or platinum. A search of the internet using "iridium coins" should reveal dozens of sites claiming to have the genuine article.
No, gold is around twice more expensive than iridium.
Fuq you :3
Lead has a higher atomic number than iridium, which means a lead atom is heavier than an iridium atom. however iridium is denser, therefore if you had a block of iridium and a block of lead,the iridium block would be heavier
are diamonds more valuable than emeralds
The Pauling electronegativity of uranium is 1,38; the Pauling electronegativity of plutonium is 1,28.So, plutonium is a bit more chemically reactive than uranium.
Yes, by weight, diamonds are more valuable than gold.
Rhodium and platinum are both more valuable than gold.
Diamonds are more valuable than coal.
It is more valuable than gold because there is a few amount of gold and more dirt. So it is easy to find dirt than it is to find gold. That is why gold is more valuable than dirt.
yes, an original painting is more valuable than a print.
