(*Important points to remember! Also learn the periodic table.Hope this would help! )
1.Thorium is a radioactive chemical element.
2.Thorium is an actinide series element, with mostly a single nearly stable isotope, Thorium 232 .
**3.Atomic number of Thorium = 90
**4. Atomic symbol of Thorium= Th
**5.Atomic weight of Thorium= 232
6. Jöns Jakob Berzelius discovered Thorium metal.
**7.Oxidation state of Thorium = 4
**8.Electron configuration (noble gas configuration) of Thorium = 6d27s2
Uses:-
9. Thorium is used as an alloying agent in magnesium to increase strength and creep resistance at a higher temperature required in the making of aircraft engines .
10.Thorium is coated over tungsten filaments used in electronic devices such as television sets.
11.Thorium is used in some gas lamps due to its quite high melting point and due to it glowing in high temperatures
12.Thorium metal is silvery and tarnishes black when it is exposed to air.
