2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Polonium was the first radioactive element to be discovered.

Polonium element and its compounds are highly radioactive.

Its alloy with Beryllium provides source of neutrons.

Molybdenum is highly reactive metal, hence not found free in nature .
Till 18th century Molybdenum element were often mistaken as a carbon or Lead.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Polonium metal has different Allotropes, it is used in antistatic devices and for research purpose.

A 1 gram of Polonium can reach a temperature of 500°C, hence it is used as a heat source for space equipment.

Its alloys are used to make engine parts, drills, saw blade, etc.

Lubricant additive made up of Molybdenum disulfide is commonly used in the industry. It is also used as a catalyst.
