Periodic Table

Hello, LinkedIn professionals! ?? Let's continue our exploration of the periodic table and uncover three fascinating fun facts about elements 61 to 65. Whether you're in technology, healthcare, or any industry, these scientific marvels are bound to spark your curiosity. ??

Promethium (Pm) - Element #61:

This is only an illustration, not promethium itself. An otherwise typical lanthanoid, which however due to its radioactivity produces quite some heat and therefore on the surface quickly oxidizes to pink Pm2O3.

  • Promethium is one of the rarest elements on Earth, primarily produced artificially. All of the isotopes of promethium are radioactive. It is the only radioactive rare earth metal. It is used in luminous paint for instrument dials! ????
  • Fun Fact: From glowing watch hands to spacecraft instruments, promethium's luminescent properties add a touch of magic to our everyday devices and outer space exploration.
