How hard is thorium?
Thorium is a relatively soft and malleable metal, similar to lead, that can be easily cut with a knife. It has a Mohs hardness rating of 3, which is softer than many common minerals like quartz and feldspar.
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.
What chemicals are in thorium fluoride?
Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4
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.
Is thorium homogeneous?
Thorium is a natural, radioactive, chemical element; chemically, thorium is homogeneous.
Is the element mercury malleable or not malleable?
malleable
What is the English name of an thorium?
Also thorium.
What is the symbol for the element thorium?
The chemical symbol of thorium is Th.
How many neutrons are in thorium?
232Th has 142 neutrons and 90 protons and electrons.
How the thorium is isolated?
Thorium as a metal is obtained by a calciothermic process from thorium dioxide. Other methods are: electrolysis of thorium tetrafluoride and thermal decomposition of thorium tetraiodide (Van Arkel-de Boer process).
Do I require a licence to buy thorium and to make a domestic steam generator fuelled by thorium?
Of course, thorium is a controlled material and working with thorium is not a joke for home.
What is thorium family name?
Thorium (Th) is a member of the actinoids family.
