Promethium is today the unique name for this chemical element.
Promethium has similar chemical properties as cerium and other lanthanoids.
Of course: promethium is separated from other fission products of uranium etc.
Promethium is the only lanthanide that is radioactive and does not have stable isotopes. It is also challenging to study due to its radioactivity. Additionally, promethium has unique chemical properties compared to other lanthanides.
Isotopes of promethium haven't special names. Promethium has 38 isotopes and isomers, all radioactive.Isotopes of all elements contain the chemical symbol of the element and:- as a superscript, to left: the mass number of the isotope- as a subscript, to left: the atomic number of the elementA correct symbol is not possible to be written on WikiAnswers window.
Promethium itself does not have a distinct odor as it is a rare earth metal. However, some of its compounds may have a metallic smell when they react with other chemicals.
It was first discovered by Jacob A. Marinsky, along with a few other scientists in 1944. But he did not make his claim of Promethium until 1946. The place Promethium was first discovered is still unknown to me...
Promethium bromide contain promethium and bromine.
As all other chemical elements promethium contain protons (61), electrons (61) and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope.
Yes, Promethium is a radioactive element that is paramagnetic, meaning it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields.
Promethium is not flammable.
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.
Yes. Promethium is a solid.
