Interesting Facts
- Mendelevium metal is synthetically produced metal.
- Mendelevium metal has been produced in only trace amount.
  
- Vanadium is a highly reactive metal, hence it is not found free in nature.
- Vanadium can be found in almost 65 different types of minerals.

Uses & Benefits
- Currently known uses of Mendelevium metal are limited to research purpose only.
  
- Its ally with steel is used very tough and hence it is used in armor plates, axles, piston rods, tools and crankshafts.
-
Its oxide is used as pigments for glass and ceramics.
