2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Metal dust of Lutetium element is highly explosive.
Lutetium metal is corrosion resistance and acts stable in air.

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.
