Promethium can be used in luminous paints.
Yes, promethium is flammable. It can ignite spontaneously in air and react with oxygen to produce heat and flames. Special precautions are necessary when handling promethium to prevent accidental fires.
Radium is the radioactive element commonly used in luminous paints to produce a glow-in-the-dark effect. The decay of radium releases energy in the form of light, making the paint glow without needing an external light source. Due to its radioactivity, caution should be taken when handling materials containing radium.
It is impossible, promethium is highly radioactive.
Promethium does not occur naturally on earth, but as a by-product of uranium fission. It is very radioactive and its salts have a pinkish or reddish color. Promethium colors its surrounding air with a pale blue-green light.
Promethium is so rare and so radioactive I don't thing anyone's ever collected enough of it to tell. It would, however, presumably be a silvery-gray color like nearly all other metals.
Promethium bromide contain promethium and bromine.
Promethium is not flammable.
Yes, Promethium is a radioactive element that is paramagnetic, meaning it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields.
Applications of promethium:- beta radiation source in instruments used to measure thickness of coatings by retrodiffusion of beta radiations- luminous paints- atomic batteries

Promethium salts, oxides, and halides are common compounds of promethium. Promethium oxide (Pm2O3) and promethium chloride (PmCl3) are among the compounds that can be formed with promethium.
