Interesting Facts
- Bohrium metal is also known as Unnilseptium (Uns) and Nielsbohrium (Ns).
- 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.
