Is thorium a rare earth metal?
No, thorium is not a rare earth metal. It is a radioactive metal that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. Rare earth metals are a group of 17 elements that have similar chemical properties and are typically found together in nature.

What is the common compound of thorium?

How common is thorium?
Thorium is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust, more so than uranium. However, it is not as commonly used as uranium in nuclear reactors due to technological and economic reasons. Research is ongoing to explore thorium as a potentially more efficient and safer alternative to uranium for nuclear energy production.
How is thorium mined or gathered?
Thorium can be strip mined and it could be deep mined. It is be produced as a byproduct of the production of rare earth elements, and since the current production as a byproduct far exceeds the demand, it is not usually mined.
Is thorium a synthetic or natural element?
Thorium is a natural chemical element, a radioactive metal.
Is thorium found in UK?
United Kingdom hasn't today known reserves of thorium.
What percent of the earth is radioactive?
Approximately 80% of the Earth's natural radioactivity comes from the decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium-40 in the Earth's crust.
Does thorium come under the Control of substances hazards to health regs?
Yes
