2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Radium metal is the heaviest metal of Alkaline earth metals column.
Radium metal is highly radioactive and does not have any stable isotopes.

Chromium is highly reactive, hence it is not found free in nature.

Ores of Chromites mineral are the major source of Chromium metal.

Almost 90% leather tanning is done with the help of chromium.
