Thorium don't smell.
Like all metals except for mercury thorium's standard state is solid.
Some thorium ores are monazite, thorianite, thorite.
Thorium is generally known by its chemical name "Thorium." However, it may also be referred to as "Th" on the periodic table.
Thorium is a tetravalent element (4+).
Thorium is a solid metal.
Ah, thorium, what a peaceful element. How about a slogan like "Thorium, a gentle giant in the world of atoms" to remind us of its quiet strength and potential for good? Just like painting a happy little tree, let's embrace thorium with positivity and creativity.
Thorium has a silvery white streak, almost like it's main color.
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
Thorium is a natural, radioactive, chemical element; chemically, thorium is homogeneous.
Thorium is a natural chemical element, a radioactive metal.
Also thorium.
The chemical symbol of thorium is Th.
232Th has 142 neutrons and 90 protons and electrons.
Thorium as a metal is obtained by a calciothermic process from thorium dioxide. Other methods are: electrolysis of thorium tetrafluoride and thermal decomposition of thorium tetraiodide (Van Arkel-de Boer process).
