PROMETHIUM

Pm (61)

prəˈmiːθiəm

PHONETICS

Promethium isotopes are radioactive; it is one of only two such elements that are followed in the periodic table by elements with stable forms, a distinction shared with technetium.

ELEMENT BRIEF

1945 by Jacob A. Marinsky, Lawrence Glendenin and Charles D. Coryell, USA.

DISCOVERY

From the name of Titan in Greek mythology who stole fire from Mount Olympus and brought it down to humans, to symbolize 'both the daring and the possible misuse of mankind’s intellect'.
