2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Barium oxidizes very easily in the air.

All toxic compounds of Barium can easily dissolve in water.

Barium carbonate is used to produce a Rat poison and its other compound Barium nitrate is used in fireworks to produce green color.

Chromium is highly reactive, hence it is not found free in nature.

Ores of Chromites mineral are the major source of Chromium metal.

Almost 90% leather tanning is done with the help of chromium.
