Interesting Facts
- Mendelevium metal is synthetically produced metal.
- Mendelevium metal has been produced in only trace amount.
- The main source of Cobalt is as a by-product of copper and nickel metal mining.
- Cobalt metal can be obtained from other elements like Oxygen, Sulfur and Arsenic.
- It s also used in electroplating process as it exhibits anti cession properties.
Sources
Bombarding Einsteinium with Helium Ions
Found in Compounds, Mining, Ores of Minerals
