2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Plutonium metal if obtain from ores of uranium metal.
Plutonium metal is very sensitive to the change in atmospheric conditions like temperature and pressure.

Zinc metal found (obtain) in many forms like granules, foil, dust and in a powder form.
After iron, Zinc metal the second most abundant element in the earth crust.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Plutonium was used in atomic bombs and still it is being used in various weapons and Ammunition industry.
It is also used in nuclear power plant as source of energy for space missions.

It has corrosion resistance and hence it is used to plate other metals.
Its alloys are very useful; Nichrome alloy is used in the hot coil of toasters and electric oven.
