Definition of Th
Thorium is a silvery chemical element, especially, capable of radiation.
1.1 Names
1.1.1 Common name: Thorium
1.1.2 English name: Thorium
1.2 Atomic mass: 232.03806(2) u
1.3 Atomic number: 90
1.3.1 Molecular structure: Thorium does not form molecules with itself.
1.4 Ion structure: Th4+ -
Properties of Th
2.1 Physical properties of Th
State: Solid
Color: Silver
Odor: Odorless
PH: Not applicable
2.2 Chemical properties of Th: Thorium is very resistant to corrosion, even at high temperatures. It does not react with water, but reacts with most acids. -
Common chemical equations of Th
Metal reaction: None
Acid reaction: Th + 4HNO3 -> Th(NO3)4 + 2NO2 + 2H2O
Non-metal reaction: Th + Cl2 -> ThCl4
Reaction with salt: None -
Synthesis of Th
4.1 Laboratory synthesis of Th: Thorium is not synthesized in the laboratory. It is mined from Uranium and Monazite ores.
4.2 Industrial synthesis of Th: Thorium is placed in a high-temperature furnace with the presence of coal powder, then it is filtered to form thorium.
