Facts

Interesting Facts
  • 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.
  
  • Mendelevium metal is synthetically produced metal.
  • Mendelevium metal has been produced in only trace amount.
