What is Polonium gold worth?
Polonium is obtained now only as a result of nuclear reactions; the total world production is 100-200 g/year. Consequently the price is enormous.
Is polonium magnetic?
Polonium is a nonmagnetic element.
Is a polonium a gas?
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.
How is polonium a meatlloid?
Polonium is considered generally a metalloid.
What is the hardness of polonium?
Data about the hardness of polonium don't exist.
What was polonium obtained from?
In the past polonium was obtained from the residues of uranium ores, after extraction of uranium.Now polonium is obtained only by nuclear reactions.
Where was obtained?
The first time polonium was obtained by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898, separating polonium from uranium ores. Now polonium is obtained by nuclear reactions.
Where is polonium from?
Today polonium is obtained only artificially, especially in Russia.
Is polonium renewable or nonrenewable?
Polonium can be obtained by artificial methods. It is not renewable.
What country polonium is mined?
Now polonium is not obtained from natural sources; it is the product of some nuclear reactions.
How was polonium isolated?
Natural polonium was isolated from residues resulted after the extraction of uranium from ores; the process is long and tedious. Today polonium is obtained artificially.
Where did polonium come from?
Polonium is a radioactive chemical element, extremely rare, accompanying uranium in some ores; now polonium is obtained by nuclear reactions.
Is polonium natural or man made?
Polonium is a natural chemical element but can be also obtained artificially.
Where is polonium found and how is it obtained?
The most common reaction to obtain polonium is;Bi-209 + n------------Bi-210-----------------Po-210 + e-
How is polonium extracted from the ground?
Now polonium is not extracted from uranium ores; polonium is more simple prepared by nuclear reactions.
When alpha particle tunnels out of nucleus is the atom still an atom of the element polonium atomic number 84?
No, after the alpha decay of polonium lead isotopes were obtained.
Which product is formed by alpha emission from polonium 208?
The isotope lead-204 is obtained.
