Actinoids

Actinoids ( Alex )

Uses of Actinoids The elements in the Actinoids group have many different uses. The explosive power that comes from Uranium and plutonium can be used to make very effective atom bombs. Plutonium is also used to power heart pacemakers. Curium and plutonium are used as a power source on the moon to provide an electrical energy to transmit messages to earth. <[]> Thorium is an element that is part of the Actinoids group. It is mainly used as an agent to improve magnesium’s strength at high temperature. <[]> ||
