Interesting Facts
- Dysprosium acts stable in air at room temperature.
- Dysprosium behaves very much like paramagnetic metal.
- The most stable isotope of Nobelium metal is No-259.
- No-259 has a half-life of fifty-eight minutes.

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.
- Currently known uses of Nobelium metal are limited to research purpose only.
