2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Tungsten element has the second highest melting point.
Pure tungsten can easily cut down with the help of hacksaw.

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.
