When it is mixed or alloyed with beryllium, polonium can be a neutron source: beryllium releases a neutron upon absorption of an alpha particle that is supplied by 210Po. It has been used in this capacity as a neutron trigger or initiator for nuclear weapons
Polonium is usually considered a poor metal, but can also be considered a metalloid.
Polonium is a metal at room temperature.
Polonium is considered now as a metal.

Polonium is considered as a post transition metal.
No, polonium is a solid metalloid.
Polonium is a metal at room temperature.
No, it is not a metalloid. Plutonium is a metal, as are the other elements in the actinide series.
Yes, polonium is a reactive metal but the chemistry of polonium is not known in details.
Polonium is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 209.
Polonium is an amphoteric chemical element. Also is a member of the chalcogens elements family (group 16 in the periodic table of Mendeleev) and tellurium is also a metalloid.
No, polonium is not magnetic. Polonium is a metal that falls under the category of paramagnetic materials, which means it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields.
