Interesting Facts
- Dysprosium acts stable in air at room temperature.
- Dysprosium behaves very much like paramagnetic metal.
- 223 Francium has the longest half life at 21.8.
- Francium metal is produced by alpha decay in 227Actinium 227.

Uses & Benefits
- 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.
- Francium has no known uses as it has a half life of only 22 minutes.
