2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Americium metal is produced by bombarding Plutonium with Neutrons.

Americium metal was discovered as a by-product while testing an atomic bomb (Manhattan Project).

Iron is not always magnetic in nature, its allotrope are ferromagnetic and the B allotrope is nonmagnetic.
The blood consists Iron in hemoglobin molecules to transfer Oxygen in the body.
