The first isotope of protactinium (234mPa) was discovered by Kasimir Fajans and Otto Gohring in 1913 (Germany).
The isotope 231Pa of protactinium was discovered by Austrian/Jewish physicist Lise Meitner and by Otto Hahn, a German physical chemist in 1918 and simultaneously by Frederick Soddy and John Cranston (England).
Protactinium exist in very low concentrations in uranium ores.
Protactinium is paramagnetic.
Protactinium is not corrosive.
yes, protactinium is a metal
Nothing is made from protactinium.
Protactinium is a highly reactive metal and it can react with water, particularly in its radioactive forms. This reaction can release hydrogen gas and produce protactinium hydroxide. However, protactinium is rare and not often encountered in everyday situations.
Protactinium is a natural chemical element; but protactinium can be obtained artificially by nuclear reactions from 232Th.
Valences of protactinium are: 2, 4,5.
