What else can I help you with?
Is promethium flammable?
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.
What radioactive element is used in luminous paints?
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.
Can promethium be used on edible plants?
It is impossible, promethium is highly radioactive.
How does promethium smell like?
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.
What is the streak color of promethium?
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.
What substances are in promethium bromide?
Promethium bromide contain promethium and bromine.
What was promethium used for in the past?
Applications of promethium:- beta radiation source in instruments used to measure thickness of coatings by retrodiffusion of beta radiations- luminous paints- atomic batteries
How is it the element promethium used?

Is Promethium magetic?
Yes, Promethium is a radioactive element that is paramagnetic, meaning it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields.
Is promethium flamable?
Promethium is not flammable.
What is promethium used in?
Promethium is important because it is a unique chemical element. And it is the only one other than technetium with elements that are heavier that have stable isotopes. Promethium has no stable isotopes. There is almost none of this interesting metal in the earth's crust. It is found in less than trace quantities. We know almost all of what we know about promethium from quantities we've made in the laboratory. Use the link below for more information.
What are three compounds containing promethium?
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.
