Interesting Facts
- Mendelevium metal is synthetically produced metal.
- Mendelevium metal has been produced in only trace amount.
- Beryllium is best anti corrosion metal.
- Beryllium is the lightest metal and still it is stronger than steel.
- It also finds various applications in Nuclear reactors as a reflector.
