Interesting Facts
- IUPAC allotted a temporary name to Dubnium metal as “ Unnilpentium”.
- In the production of Dubnium, thermal gradient chromatography is used.
- Dysprosium acts stable in air at room temperature.
- Dysprosium behaves very much like paramagnetic metal.

Uses & Benefits
- Currently known uses of Dubnium metal are limited to research purpose only.
- Dysprosium metal is highly reactive due to which it pure form is not as usual as its alloy.
-
Thi metals alloy is used in magnate as it is resistance to high temperature.
