About Actinium

Actinium is a chemical element discovered by a group of French scientists by extraction from uranium ores. The name of this chemical element comes from the Greek word meaning ray. It is a soft and very radioactive metal which gives beautiful light blue glow. This element is extremely toxic and is dangerous to all living organisms on our planet, and it is also one of the most powerful sources of alpha rays. It has no applications but scientific research. It can be found in its natural form on our planet, but only as a compound of uranium ores.
