1.1 Uses & Benefits
Thorium metal is used as an allying agent for Magnesium, It imparts greater strength and resistance to temperature.
compound of this metal Thorium oxide is used as an industrial catalyst.
Polonium metal has different Allotropes, it is used in antistatic devices and for research purpose.
A 1 gram of Polonium can reach a temperature of 500°C, hence it is used as a heat source for space equipment.
