Promethium is an element with atomic number 61. It has no stable isotopes, the longest lived one has half life 17 years. It can be recovered from spent nuclear fuel in small amounts, but in nature it occurs only in minute amounts associated with uranium, from which it is being formed continually and then decaying, so it never accumulates to any extent. It is one of the lanthanides or 'rare earth' elements, and had never been separated until after nuclear reactors had started to operate, providing a source of it.

What state of matter is promethium at room temperature?

Promethium is a radioactive element with no stable isotopes, so it does not exist in a solid, liquid, or gas state at room temperature. Instead, it exists in a highly unstable and radioactive state, undergoing radioactive decay into other elements. Due to its instability, promethium is typically stored and handled in a controlled environment to prevent contamination and potential health hazards.

What are the solid element?

The answer is trivial. Some are solid, some liquid and some are gas. The solid ones are those (that at normal conditions) are not liquid (such as mercury) nor a gas (such as oxygen).


What is the difference between a liquid gas solution and a liquid solid solution?
