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.
What chemicals are in thorium fluoride?
Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4

Why branching decay occur in thorium series?
Thorium-232 is appearing in the thorium series.
Is thorium homogeneous?
Thorium is a natural, radioactive, chemical element; chemically, thorium is homogeneous.
What is a good slogan for remembering thorium?
Thorium: soft but strong! Thorium is totally radioactive!
