Polonium and radium are radioactive chemical elements but they have not the same properties.
Polonium and sulfur are not similar. Polonium is a radioactive metal with toxic properties, while sulfur is a nonmetal element that is commonly found in nature. They have very different chemical and physical properties.
Polonium is a natural radioactive element.
Polonium is considered a metalloid because it exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals. It can behave like a metal in terms of its electrical conductivity but also shows nonmetallic characteristics like brittleness. Polonium is found in the periodic table in the metalloid section due to its intermediate properties.
The Pauling electronegativity of polonium is 2.
The most important producer of polonium is Russia.
very reactive and has a high detiration content
The cost of one gram of polonium is very high, estimated to be around $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 USD due to its rarity and radioactive properties.
Polonium is usually considered a poor metal, but can also be considered a metalloid.
Natural polonium exist in uranium and thorium ores.
Since it is a metal, it readily conducts electricity, but its applications as a conductor is limited due to the fact that it is a radioactive substance.
Mercury's most obvious and well known property is that is a liquid at room temperature. Another obvious property of mercury is its silvery metallic color. Finally, mercury's comparatively low boiling point is obvious upon testing.
